Operating Guidelines
- Use minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) or dry cutting for aluminum to prevent built-up edge.
- Maintain rigid toolholder and machine setup to avoid vibration during parting.
- Ensure coolant delivery reaches the cutting edge directly for heat dissipation.
- For titanium, reduce cutting speed and increase feed to minimize heat generation.
- Regularly inspect insert corners for wear; replace before edge degradation affects surface finish.
- Use proper toolholder alignment to maintain 90° approach angle for straight cuts.
- When cutting small parts, support the workpiece adequately to prevent deflection.
