Advantages and disadvantages C Direction Advantages Disadvantages – Prevents hooking of tool – Bigger stress on cutting edge Up-milling – More smooth cut – Shorter tool life Drilling – Higher tool life Down-milling – Hooking of tool possible – Less thermal stress D Information Technical E Index B 465
