Clamping the Insert Face Machining Guide

Clamping an insert correctly into the holder Tool Selection - Follow these recommendations is necessary for stable machining. to choose the right tool for high peformance

  • Be sure that the seat is clean of dirt and swarf.
  • At the first stage of clamping, ease the insert gently into place. Make sure that the prismatic surfaces match.

Remark: On integral shank tools the given range refers to the holder capacity. Tool Adjustment - Prior to machining, check and adjust the following tool positions.

Check the cutting edge height at center line, machine in light turning down to center and check for burr.
