  • Remove excessive chip accumulation with an air blast.
  • Cutting conditions maybe limited depending on machine power, workpiece H
  • For the operation with depth of cut which varies (ex.casting skin) and rigidity, and spindle output. When the cutting width, depth, or overhang machining of workpiece materials with interrupted surface, the feed per tooth length is large, set Vc and fz to the lower recommended values and check the (fz) should be set to the lower recommended value shown in the above table. machine power and vibration.
How to clamp the insertI
1. Clear chips and dust from the pocket.
2. Place the insert in the pocket. The insert can be placed only in one direction.
3. Tighten the screw while pressing the insert into the pocket.J
How to check the run-out
1. Clamp the insert on the shank.
2. Clamp the shank on a high-precision arbor.K

3. Measure the run-out on tool presetter or by dial gauge.

Notes:

1. Due to the helical cutting edge, it is important that the

run-out is inspected with the insert clamped on the shank. L

2. Do not use micrometer or caliper to inspect the insert diameter as inaccurate dimensions may be provided. M
