Tool Design

· Select a negative/positive cutter with a large peripheral cutting edge angle (a small approach angle). · Reinforce the cutting edge (honing) · Change chipbreaker (G → H) · Reduce feed rate · If it is due to excessive low speeds or very low feed rates, select a grade resistant to chip adhesion · If the cause is thermal cracking, select a thermal impact resistant grade · Select a negative/positive (or double negative) cutter type with a large peripheral cutting edge angle (a small approach angle) · Reinforce the cutting edge (honing) · Change chipbreaker (G →→ H) · Increase insert size (thickness in particular) · Select appropriate conditions for that particular application · Select an adhesion-resistant grade Carbide → Cermet · Improve axial runout of cutting edges Use a cutter with less runout Mount the correct insert · Use a wiper insert · Use cutters dedicated for finishing · Increase the cutting speed · Select a cutter with sharp cutting edges · Use an irregular pitched cutter · Reduce the feed rate · Improve the rigidity of the workpiece and cutter clamp ( )
