Short tool life types of wear on inserts
• cutting speed to high select correct cutting speed
• cutting material with too little wear resistance select
grade with higher wear resistance
• tool overhang too great if possible use shorter tool
• damaged insert seating check tool, change if
necessary
• clamping device not stable enough improve stability
Bore narrows at bottom
• chip jam use different chip fracture geometry,
increase feed if necessary
• material very soft increase cutting speed, reduce
feed. Use positive chip geometry
Bore widens at bottom
• chip jam use different chip fracture geometry,
increase feed if necessary
Bad surface finish
• bad chip removal improve cutting parameters:
increase cutting speed reduce feed
Bild up on cutting edge
• cutting speed too low increase cutting speed
• insert too negative use positive geometry
• coating not suitable select correct coating
Friction marks on tool shank
• bore diameter too small check setting
• chip removal problems improve cutting parameters,
check geometry of inserts
• cutting edge corner radius too large use correct cut-
ting edge radius
