Frequently Asked Questions on Turning Blade Applications (FAQ)
Q : Blade chipping prematurely?
A : Check clamping rigidity (ensure the tool holder is secure and free from vibration), verify that the cutting parameters are not too high (especially the feed rate), and confirm that the edge strength (blunting amount / burr) is suitable for the current working conditions (e.g., intermittent cutting requires a stronger cutting edge), and check for hard spots or sand inclusions in the workpiece.
Q : Severe tool sticking when machining aluminum alloys?
A : Prioritize the use of sharp cutting edge designs (large rake angle) and low-friction coatings (such as diamond coatings or special PVD coatings), ensure sufficient cooling (recommend high-quality emulsion or oil mist cooling), and appropriately increase the cutting speed.
Q : Chatter marks appear on the workpiece surface?
A : Increase the rigidity of the entire process system (check the machine tool, tool holder, and tool shank), appropriately reduce the cutting parameters (especially the depth of cut), select a positive rake angle and sharp cutting edge blade, and confirm that the nose radius is not too large.
Q : Chips wrap around the workpiece or tool?
A : Optimizing the chip breaker design is key! Provide your cutting parameters ( ap, f ) and material information, and we will customize a high-efficiency chip breaker type for you (such as wide V -shaped, raised platform type), and check whether the coolant effectively removes the chips.
Q : How to choose the most economical blade?
A : “ Cheapest ” does not equal “ Most economical ” 。Consider the comprehensive machining efficiency (unit cost), tool life, quality stability, and downtime for tool changes. Custom blades often achieve better overall economic benefits by improving performance and lifespan. 。
