CuttingCutting Conditions· Reinforce the cutting edge (Honing). · Select a strong edge insert (G�H). · Reduce feed rates.・Recommended cutter: SEC ・Cutting conditions: Refer to-WaveMill WGX Type H20
BreakageTool Material·If it is due to excessive low speeds or very low feed rates, select an adhesion resistant grade.・Recommended insert grades
· If it is due to thermal cracking, select a thermal impact resistant grade.Steel Roughing ACP300(Coated CaCast Iron rbide) ACK300(Coated Carbide)
Tool Design Cutting Conditions·Select a negative-positive (or negative) cutter configuration with a large peripheral cutting edge angle (small approach angle). · Reinforce the cutting edge (Honing). ·Select a stronger chipbreaker (G�H) ·Increase insert size (Thickness in particular). · Select appropriate conditions with regards to the particular application.・Recommended cutter: SEC ・Insert thickness: 3.18�4.7 ・Insert type: Standard�Str ・Cutting conditions: Refer to-WaveMill WGX Type 6mm ong edge type H20
