Sandvik Coromant – How to reduce vibration in metal cutting

Inserts:

First choice is the all round geometry the GC 1020 for the ISO P, M and

K areas. F geometry with its sharp cutting edge is suitable for more tricky

materials and C geometry for reliable chip breakage.

Threading applications:

When threading it is possible to change the programme in order to mini-

mize the risk of vibration. By modifying the ﬂank infeed, the axial cutting
forces will increase, which will also reduce any vibration.

Rounded (ER treated) cutting edge

First choice in most operations and
materials

Example: R166.0G-16MM01–150

Geometry F
Sharp cutting edge

Reduced cutting forces and good
surface ﬁnishes

Example: R166.0G-16MM01F150

Geometry C
Chip breaking geometry

For maximum chip control and
minimum supervision

Example: R166.0G-16MM01C150
