However, around Process details: ø100~300mm heavy interrupted facing with grooves and drilled Vc=120m/min, wear becomes rapid and surface roughness deteriorates with increased burrs. holes. (after 40 passes) SUMIBORON on the other hand, exhibits stability and superior wear resistance, burr prevention and surface roughness Insert: TNGA160404 Cutting data: f=0.1mm/rev, d=0.1mm, Wet especially at high speeds.
