DETERMINING TOOL LIFE
Not in Tolerance
Improper installation of insert
Dull Cutting
Indexing and machine adjustment
Deterioration of Surface
Consider surface finish when finishing steel, cast iron, and machining aluminum
Generation of Heat
Workpiece overheating can cause loss of surface finish and holding of required tolerances
Burrs, Chipping, etc.,
Steel, aluminum alloy »Burrs
Cast iron »Chipping
Mild steel »Burrs
Damage at Cutting Edge
Heavy Flank Wear and Cratering
Chipping
Breakage
Thermal Cracking
Deformation of Nose Radius
Poor Chip Dispersal
A continuous chip can damage insert and workpiece.Dangerous to operators. Could stop unmanned and automated produc- tion lines.
Tightly rolled chips can effect surface finish and cause vibration.
Uncontrolled chip flow will effect surface finish and quality.
