Internal grooving and profiling
Reduce risk of vibration:
• Set-up should have the shortest possible overhang
with the lightest cutting geometry possible.
• Use a smaller insert and make several cuts instead
of one.
• Start from outside and make overlapping cuts inwards
for best chip evacuation.
• A finishing operation can be a side turning motion.
Start from inside and turn outwards.
• Ramping/turning can be used for improved chip
control and may reduce vibration.
• Use right- or left-hand style inserts to direct the chips
when roughing.
• Machine large-width
grooves using several
insertions with a
narrower insert
(illustration A).
• End with a finishing cut
(illustration B).
