„ Conventional Slotting

  • Full slotting limitations:
  • Usually not more then ap = 1 x D.
  • Conventional and climb milling at the same time.
  • High heat development on the tool and on the workpiece.
  • Diffi cult chip evacuation.
  • High radial forces.
  • This means:
  • No constant chip thickness.
  • Low MRR.
  • Surface quality from the left to right side are different.
  • Limited tool life.
  • High power and torque requirements for the machine.

fz = feed per tooth [mm/z]

n

Feed direction

hm = average chip thickness [mm]
