WET cutting is recommended. (v c ≥ 200 m/min) Milling SUMIBORON BN Finish Mill EASY - High speed machining Vc = 2000m/min - Surface Roughness Rz=3,2 (Ra=1,0) - Running cost is reduced because of economical insert - Easy insert setting with the aid of a setting gauge - Safe, anti-centrifugal force construction for high speed conditions 0,25 250 Ceramic Cutting data: Vc=400m/min doc = 0,5 mm, f t = 0,15 mm/tooth Vc=600m/min 0,20 200 Dry Flank wear width (mm) Number of pass 0,15 Vc=600m/min Vc=1000m/min 150 0,10 100 Typical thermal crack 0,05 Vc=1500m/min 50 Wet 0 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 300 450 600 750 900 1050 1200 1350 1500 Technical Guidance Number of pass Cutting speed (m/min) Dry cutting is recommended for high speed milling of cast iron Work material: GG25 Tool material: BN700 with SUMIBORON.
