1 Chip Thinning Operating Parameters CHIP THINNING (SLOTTING) CUTTER DIAMETER DEPTH OF CUT DEPTH OF CUT To find the Radial Chip Thinning Factor for a slotting cut:. Find the Depth of Cut on the horizontal scale.. Locate the nominal diameter of the cutter on the vertical axis. 3. Crossreference the two figures. 4. Locate the diagonal line closest to the intersection of the vertical and horizontal axes. The value of this diagonal is the Radial Chip Thinning Factor for your specific application. 5. Multiply this radial chip thinning factor with the calculated chip thickness to get the actual chip thickness CUTTER DIAMETER OPERATING PARAMETERS IN530 IN655 IN05/IN00 Brinell Feed per Material Hardness SFM Insert Coolant IN030 IN040 Grades* IN005 IN5K (Polished) IN70N Aluminum 606T6, 7075T6, Yes Cast Iron Gray Nodular No Low Carbon 08, High Carbon F680, Nitralloy Steel 3 No Alloyed Steel 440, 4340, Tool Steel A6, D, D, P0 Up to Series, 304, May not be Stainless required at 400 Series, 55 PH, 74 PH Up to Steel high speeds 38 PH Yes Nickel Inconel 600, 706, 78, Alloys 903, Hastelloy, Waspalloy Yes Titanium 6AL4V Yes *In order of preference. 7

5 General Application Information APPLYING BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MACHINING WITH INDEXABLES CAN IMPROVE PERFORMANCE The following information is directed toward indexable carbide tools but it can be applied to many other cutting tools, as well. It provides some basic guidelines designed to serve as a starting point for safe and reliable performance. Contact your Ingersoll Cutting Tool Company sales engineer or distributor for specific application assistance. Rigidity. Use the most rigid cutter possible. This usually means the cutter with the largest diameter and shortest length. Use the best adaption possible. Integral tapers, such as a 50 Vflange, are better than straight shanks. When selecting straight shank tools, use a cutter with the largest diameter shank possible and a holder with the shortest length possible. Effective cutting edges. When calculating feed rate, use the effective number of inserts. In extended flute cutters, the effective number of inserts is not the number of rows. Use the effective number listed with the specifications for each series of tools. Chip load. Carbide cutting tools have to take a bite to cut. Be sure to cut with an adequate chip load. Light chip loads can contribute to chatter, causing a cutter to rub instead of bite. This can also result in poor tool life. As a general rule, chip loads should not be less than.004". Also, be sure to use Radial Chip Thinning Factors (RCTF) when calculating feed rates. Chip recutting. Unlike HSS, carbide cutting tools cannot recut chips. Recutting chips will damage carbide. To evacuate chips, use air or coolant depending on the material being cut. Coolant. Generous amounts of coolant are required when low thermal conductivity, work hardening, and chip welding tendencies are evident. Use coolant only when necessary. Some materials cut better dry. In some applications, coolant causes thermal cracking of inserts and poor tool life. Feed rates. Reduce feed rates by 50 percent when entering or exiting a cut. Since fewer inserts are engaged in the work, pounding can occur. Reducing feed rates will reduce the shock of the interrupted cut and contribute to longer tool life. When entering a corner during pocket milling, a larger portion of the cutter s diameter is engaged. Power requirements and tool deflection increase. To compensate, program a reduced interpolated feed rate. Alternately, drill or plunge the corner prior to milling. Cutter rotation. Climb cut whenever possible. Carbide is designed for climb milling and will not generally perform as well when conventional cutting. Conventional cutting may be employed on older machines to minimize backlash. It can also extend tool life in sandy, scaly, or torchcut surfaces as the cutting edge enters into cleaner, softer material. Feed Feed Feed Entering a Cut Exiting a Cut Corner Cutting Reduce feed rates by 50% when entering a cut, exiting a cut, or entering a corner. This reduces pounding and cutting forces and can extend the life of your indexable carbide tool. 3
