Following are some of the more common troubles encountered and the recommended corrective measures involving variations in speeds and feeds.
Problem | Corrective measure |
---|---|
Lack of rigidity | Increase speed, reduce feed |
Excessive abrasion on the tool | Reduce speed, increase feed |
Chipping of the cutting edge | Reduce feed per tooth |
Burning of the cutting edge | Reduce speed |
Cratering of cemented carbide | Reduce feed and speed |
Chatter | Try other combinations of speeds and feeds |
