Caution when installing notched insert

1. Install notched inserts by cutting the insert with the number 2. When installing notched inserts in flute line, ensure that of marks on the toolholder body. the number on the insert is the same as the insert in first stage.

(Ref. to Fig. 1, 2 and 3)

* Machining with coolant is recommended for titanium alloys. ★: 1st Recommendation ☆: 2nd Recommendation 1. The recommended cutting conditions above are for notched inserts. 2. If using an insert without notch, the cutting depth (ap) and width (ae) should be 60% or less of those of a notched insert.

When using inserts with corner-R(RE) 1.6 or larger, additional modifications of the cutter body will be necessary. Ref. to the chart below for the recommended modifications. (Additional grind off is not necessary when corner-R(RE) is 1.2mm or less.)
