Holder setting method

t To minimize and suppress vibration, the position of the insert's cutting edge should be accurately installed to be parallel or perpendicular
to the machining axis.
t The shortest CDX holder should be selected based on the machining depth of the workpiece material being machined.
t Overhang should be set as short as possible for optimal usage.

t Tool breakage can be occurred if the tools approaches the workpiece's
center with high feed while parting off
t It is necessary to always reduce feed by 75% at a position 2~3mm
ahead of the center.

Calculating the helix angle (β)

( Helix angle diagram )
TP
TP TPI
HF
t The helix angle is calculated

by the following formula
β = tan-1 TP × N
π× D
β : Helix angle (°)
P: Pitch (mm)
N: No. of starts
HF
D: Pitch diameter (mm)
Lead = TP × N
The dimension HF (cutting
t The helix angle can also be edge height) remains
found from the diagram below constant with every insert/
shim combination

03) Useful cutting tip - Thread Milling

Tangential Arc Approach
t With this method, the tool enters and exits the workpiece smoothly. No marks are left on the workpiece and there is no vibration, even with
harder materials. Although it requires slightly more complex programming than the radial approach (see below), this is the method
recommended for machining the highest quality threads
Internal thread External thread

DC
DC
1 - 2 : Rapid approach
2 - 3 : Tool entry along tangential arc, with simultaneous feed along z-axis
3 - 4 : Helical movement during one full orbit (360°)
4 - 5 : Tool exit along tangential arc, with continuing feed along z-axis
5 - 6 : Rapid return
Radial Approach
t This is the simplest method. There are two characteristics worth nothing about the radial approach:
① a small vertical mark may be lift at the entry (and exit) point. This is of no significance to the thread itself
② when using this method with very hard materials, there may be a tendency of the tool to vibrate as it approaches the full cutting depth
Note : Radial feed during entry to the full profile depth should only be 1/3 of the subsequent circular feed

Tangential Line Approach

t This method is very simple, and has all of the advantages of the tangential arc method However, it is applicable only with external threads

04) Troubles in cutting and solutions - Thread Turning

Problem Possible cause Solution
Too high cutting speed Reduce cutting speed/use coated insert
Increased Too low depth of cut / Too many passes Increase the depth of cut per pass
flank wear
Unsuitable carbide grade Use a coated carbide grade
Insufficient coolant oil Increase coolant flow rate
Uneven Incorrect helix angle Choose the correct shim

edge wear
Wrong infeed method Use the alternating flank infeed method
Too deep depth of cut Decrease depth of cut/ increase number of passes
Insufficient coolant Increase coolant flow rate

Extreme
plastic Too high cutting speed Reduce cutting speed

Unsuitable carbide grade Use a tougher carbide
Too small nose radius Use an insert with a larger radius, if possible
Too deep depth of cut Decrease depth of cut/ increase number of passes

Cutter position : Do not align the cutter center with the center of the workpiece!
Entrance Exit Entrance Exit
Optimal ae Selection : Maximize tool life by selecting the optimal ae!
ae > 75% of ØD
t Optimal cutting conditions
t Offset the initial impact along the direction of rotation when entering the cut
ae < 25% of ØD
t Form positively when entering.
t Absorb the impact during entry by the outermost part of the insert, gradually offset by the tool
ae = 50% of ØD
t Not recommended.
t Very high impact and load on the tool during a tool's entering
Downward milling : Reduce heat and minimize work Optimal feed rate determination : Chip thickness
hardening tendencies! varies upon the tool's approach angle so maximum
feed rate also varies.

Using a pilot drill (Recommended)

1. Drilling a pilot hole (with a pilot drill) 2. Start drilling
• Drill a 0.5D pilot hole in 70% • Start drilling in recommended

Without pilot drill

1. Drilling a pilot hole (without a pilot drill) 2. Stop drilling
• After drill 0.5D with 70% lower • Stop supplying the coolant and
cutting speed, stop drilling for completely take out the drill from
2-3 seconds putting the drill in the hole. Then, stop drilling for 2-3
