ØD 2 After the initial grooving to the required final diameter, ØD 1 ØD1 ØD2 the machining direction is normally changed for A Δ/2 longitudinal turning. At this point the deflection occurs. If machining continues without correction, corner A will penetrate the material. GROOVE-TURN This will result in two different diameters: øD1 from the grooving and øD2 from the turning. The difference between øD1 and øD2 is a value we define as ∆. a p The compensation factor is ∆/2, as shown below. 1 2 ∆ øD -øD = 1 2 2 Using the compensation factor will eliminate the small surface Δ/2 step. Follow this simple procedure during machining: 1. Groove to the final diameter 2. Pull the tool back, a distance equal to the value of ∆/2 3. Continue the finish turning operation 2 Characteristic values of ∆ are shown in the diagrams on the next page. 3 Characteristic Values of ∆ The diagrams show experimental results for Insert: GIP 3.00E-0.4 specific machining conditions.
