Points at bolt countersinking

1. Carbon steel Increase the feed rate to fz=0.1 ~ 0.15 (mm/t) for preventing long chips at low feed rates. Chip control is good when setting (Vc=80m/min) for MEF11~MEF25, and (Vc=120m/min) for MEF26~MEF48.

MEF11~MEF25800.1~0.15
MEF26~MEF481200.1~0.15

2. Sticky materials Step feed is recommended for good chip control Increase the feed rate to fz=0.1 ~ 0.15 (mm/t) for preventing long chips at low feed rate (fz=0.05mm/t). Use cover to prevent accidents or injury by thick chips at higher feed rates.

3. Stainless steel Use a lower cutting speed. high cutting speeds cause chattering.

Cutting performance when shouldering

MEF bolt countersink end mill is also recommended of shouldering. ae Vc=80~120m/min S55C Dry Overhang length: Same as LH in the dimension table

  • When shouldering, both side edge and bottom edges function.
  • Both edges wear at the same time depending on ap. The insert uses 2 edges instead of 4. (Fig. 1)
  • MEF type's side edge is designed to have a slight clearance for the countersinking. Therefore, worked side wall is approx. 1˚ inclined against the vertical face.
