5. Chip congestion/cooting
Significant reduction in too lif, crumbling on cutting tis,
‘edge build-up or conglutination of flutes through insu
cient chip evacuation
> select milling cutters with internal cooling
Alternative:
> peripheral cooling via GM 300 chuck
> increase volume flow
> agjust coolant flow
> apply compressed air cooling (according to tool and
material),
> reduce feed rate
> modify cutting distribution
6.Pecking when drilling
Significant reduction in tool life a well as crumbling of
cutting lips through insufficient chip evacuation and th:
mal stresses
> select miling cutter with internal cooling
with driling depths > 0.5 x D pecking in stages
Alternative:
> peripheral cooling via GM 300 chuck
> increase volume flow
> agjust coolant flow
> reduce feed rate
‘7:Thermal influence on materials
Through welding or torch cutting, the material characto-
tistics atthe parting line do not correspond with the spe
cified material class
