Precautions for Traverse Cutting Recommended Chipbreakers MG ML RN Considering the rigidity of the holder, we recommend machining from the outside to the inside. External → Internal Internal → External Feed Direction Feed Direction Cutting Point Cutting Point If machining is performed from the inner to the outer diameter, the wall thickness remaining on the principal force side will become thinner, reducing the rigidity of the holder. · If the machining start point for traverse face cutting operation is within the effective work diameter range, the work diameter will not be limited for subsequent passes. · Select the lower limit of the recommended cutting conditions for the chipbreaker and lengthen the chips for evacuation. (In face grooving, broken chips easily get stuck in grooves, which causes problems.) · When breaking chips, step feed is required. Key Points in Internal Diameter Machining Precautions for Internal Diameter Machining Recommended Chipbreakers ML GL GF If the prepared hole diameter is small, use an ML type or GL type low-feed chipbreaker, both of which reduce chip curl diameter, to ensure adequate chip evacuation.
