Low feed rates with sufficient chip evacuation improves process stability and tool life. Feed rate should be increased only when improved evacuation is needed to prevent wall scratching or chip entanglement. For Parting Off, it is recommended to reduce feed rate by 30% while using R / L inserts. For Parting Off, it is strongly recommended to reduce feed rate by 50% as the insert approaches rotation center. Reduce feed when the insert approaches approx. 6.0 mm diameter. Chip Former GT GP f [mm/rev] For better chip evacuation in Face Grooving, creating short chips is preferable. It is therefore recommended to work in short intervals (pecking), at a maximum grooving depth of twice the insert width. Taking into consideration the workpiece material and groove diameter, it is a highly recommended to begin the first cut at no longer than the insert s width. 26

29 Face Groove and Turn Machining Recommendations: VG-Cut Roughing: 1. Start by grooving close to outer diameter, followed by face turning toward the center. 2. Continue grooving close to inner diameter, followed by face turning away from center. Continue as needed until the workpiece is ready for the finishing operation. 3. The recommended remaining excess material, for the finishing application, should not exceed twice the insert corner radius. Face Grooving Tips: See page 25 for Face Turing cutting speeds. See pages for Face Grooving cutting data. Finishing: 1. Start the Profiling operation from the outer diameter of the workpiece and work in. Generate the desired radius followed by the face turning operation close to the tangential point of the inner radius. 2. Start the Profiling operation from the inner diameter towards the bottom of the workpiece, generate the desired radius as needed. 29
