Important point for traverse turning: MG Recommended chipbreakers ML RN From a holder rigidity standpoint, we recommend machining from the external diameter toward the internal diameter. External diameter side → Internal diameter side Internal diameter side → External diameter side F Feed direction Feed direction Cutting point Cutting point Grooving Tools Principal cutting force Principal cutting force When machining from internal diameter to external diameter, the principal cutting force takes up less of the insert so it will become less rigid. Grooving Cut-Off ・ During face traverse machining, if the first groove is within the valid machining diameter range, there will not be any limitations from the second and later passes. Threading ・ Choose the lower limit of the recommended cutting conditions for the chipbreaker and straighten and discharge the chip. (In face grooving, broken chips can easily get caught in the groove and cause a problem.) ・ Break chips by step feeding. Tips for Internal Diameter Machining Important point for internal diameter machining ML Recommended chipbreakers GL GF If the prepared hole machining diameter is too small, use a low feed type chipbreaker ML type or GL type, that will make the chip curls smaller for efficient chip evacuation.
