Machining Guidelines for Chip Control Grooving

When the proper cutter diameter is not available, proper cutter positioning will provide positive results.

  • Centre height of insert should be positioned at the centre of the workpiece or up to 0,13mm above.
  • Dwell time in the bottom of the groove (more than three revolutions) is not recommended.
  • Chip control is feed-rate related and should be adjusted to fi t the particular situation. Recommended feed range is 0,08–0,3 mm/rev.
