Negative forces - Positive forces External and Internal Machining External Machining Applications Recommendations Insert Types 1 Long and slender component (risk of deformation and Positve inserts 7°,11° C,D,E,S,T,W vibration), unstable machining (risk of vibration) 2, 3 Long unstable component ( risk of vibration). Positive insert 7° C,D,E,S,T,W 4, 5 Medium - High stability of components Negative insert C,D,R,S,T,V,W Other considerations Fine finishing: When machining at very small depths of cut to obtain good surface finishes and/or very precise tolerances, positive inserts are recommended. Internal Machining The side clearance of positive inserts allows for machining of small diameters. Application Recommendations Insert Types 6 For small internal diameter with long Positive inserts 11° E, T overhangs (8mm - 32mm) 7 For small to medium diameter and long Positive inserts 7° C,D,E,S,T,W overhangs (16mm - 60mm) 8 For larger bore with stable condition Negative inserts C,D,R,S,T,V,W C 3 Material Group Unalloyed Steel FF MF MR HR Negative – Inserts Fine Medium Medium Heavy Finishing Finishing Roughing Roughing Geometry 3G 2N 4T 5V Grade NL30 NL40 NL92 NL92 D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,80 - 3,50 1,00 - 4,00 1,20 - 6,00 1,50 - 8,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,18 - 0,35 0,15 - 0,45 0,23 - 0,50 0,25 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 100 - 150 85 - 145 75 - 90 75 - 90 Geometry 3M (New) 2N 4U 5V Grade NL37 (New) NL37 (New) NL37 (New) MP37 P D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,75 - 4,00 1,00 - 4,00 1,30 - 4,50 1,50 - 8,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,12 - 0,40 0,15 - 0,45 0,18 - 0,45 0,25 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 100 - 255 100 - 255 100 - 255 150 - 200 Geometry 1A 3M (New) 4U 5V Grade SP4036 NL37 (New) NL37 (New) MP37 D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,12 - 2,50 0,75 - 4,00 1,30 - 4,50 1,50 - 8,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,10 - 0,30 0,12 - 0,40 0,18 - 0,45 0,25 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 135 - 440 100 - 425 100 - 425 105 - 250 FF MF MR Positive – Inserts Fine Medium Medium Finishing Finishing Roughing Geometry 62 73 3G Grade SP4036 NL30 NL92 D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,25 - 3,00 0,40 - 5,00 0,50 - 5,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,025 - 0,25 0,07 - 0,50 0,15 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 135 - 250 100 - 150 75 - 90 Geometry 62 73 3G Grade SP4036 NL30 NL30 P D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,25 - 3,00 0,40 - 5,00 0,50 - 5,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,025 - 0,25 0,07 - 0,50 0,15 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 135 - 350 100 - 230 100 - 230 Geometry 62 73 3G Grade SP4036 NL25 NL25 D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,25 - 3,00 0,40 - 5,00 0,50 - 5,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,025 - 0,25 0,07 - 0,50 0,15 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 135 - 440 105 - 405 105 - 405 C Key Interrupted Varying depth Smooth cut of cut Cut 4 Material Group Alloyed Steel FF MF MR HR Negative – Inserts Fine Medium Medium Heavy Finishing Finishing Roughing Roughing Geometry 2N 2N 4T 5V Grade NL37 (New) NL92 NL92 NL92 D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,80 - 4,00 0,80 - 4,00 1,20 - 6,00 1,50 - 8,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,12 - 0,40 0,12 - 0,40 0,23 - 0,50 0,30 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 60 - 100 45 - 55 45 - 55 45 - 55 Geometry 3M (New) 2N 4T 5V Grade NL37 (New) NL30 NL40 NL92 P D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,75 - 4,00 0,80 - 4,00 1,20 - 6,00 1,50 - 8,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,12 - 0,40 0,12 - 0,40 0,23 - 0,50 0,30 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 60 - 150 60 - 140 50 - 130 45 - 95 Geometry 1A 3M (New) 4U 5V Grade SP3036 NL37 (New) NL37 (New) NL92 D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,12 - 2,50 0,75 - 4,00 1,30 - 4,50 1,50 - 8,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,10 - 0,30 0,12 - 0,40 0,18 - 0,45 0,30 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 75 - 255 60 - 250 60 - 250 45 - 13 FF MF MR Positive – Inserts Fine Medium Medium Finishing Finishing Roughing Geometry 62 73 3G Grade SP4036 NL40 NL92 D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,25 - 3,00 0,40 - 5,00 0,50 - 5,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,025 - 0,25 0,07 - 0,50 0,15 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 125 - 160 60 - 100 60 - 95 Geometry 62 73 3G Grade SP4036 NL30 NL30 P D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,25 - 3,00 0,40 - 5,00 0,50 - 5,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,025 - 0,25 0,07 - 0,50 0,15 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 125 - 200 60 - 140 60 - 140 Geometry 62 73 3G Grade SP4036 NL25 NL25 D.O.C. ap (mm) 0,25 - 3,00 0,40 - 5,00 0,50 - 5,00 Feed fn(mm/rev) 0,025 - 0,25 0,07 - 0,50 0,15 - 0,50 Vc(m/min) 125 - 265 60 - 240 60 - 240 C Please note the above recommended cutting speeds, geometries and grades are for guidance only.
