The milling process
Modern milling is a very universal machining method. During the past few years, hand-in-
hand with machine tool developments, milling has evolved into a method that machines
a very broad range of configurations. The choice of methods today in multi-axis machinery
is no longer straightforward in addition to all the conventional applications, milling is a
strong contender for producing holes, cavities, surfaces that used to be turned, threads,
etc. Tooling developments have also contributed to the new possibilities along with the
gains in producitivity, reliablity and quality consistency that have been made in indexable
insert and solid carbide technology.
Milling is principally metal cutting performed with a rotating, multi-edge cutting tool
which performs programmed feed movements against a workpiece in almost any direc-
tion. It is this cutting action that makes milling such an efficient and versatile machining
method. Each of the cutting edges remove a certain amount of metal, with a limited
in-cut engagement, making chip formation and evacuation a secondary concern. Most
frequently still, milling is applied to generate flat faces as in facemilling - but other
forms and surfaces are increasing steadily as the number of five-axis machining centres
and multi-task machines grow.
The main types of milling operations as seen from the effect on the component or from
a tool path point of view include:

Basic Milling definitionsA milling cutter will basically employ one
or a combination of the following basic
cutting actions: (A) radial, (B) peripheral
and (C) axial. Throughout the variations
in milling methods, one can trace back
the cutting action to these feed direc-
tions in relation to the axis of tool rota-
tion. For example:
Facemilling is a combined cutting action
by the cutting edges, mainly the ones on
the periphery and to some extent by theones on the face of the tool. The milling
cutter rotates at a right angle to the direc-
tion of radial feed against the workpiece.
Side and face milling uses mainly the
cutting edges on the periphery of the
tool. The milling cutter rotates round an
axis parallel to the tangential feed.
Plunge milling mainly uses the cutting edg-
es on the face or end of the tool as it is fed
axially, performing a partial drilling action.
To set-up the milling operation, a number
of definitions should be established.
These define the dynamics of the rotat-
ing milling tool, with a specified diameter
(Dc), having largest diameters (Dc2 orD3), moving against the workpiece, with
an effective cutting diameter (De), the
basis for the cutting speed.
Cutting speed (vc) in m/min indicates
the surface speed at which the cutting
edge machines the workpiece. This is a
tool oriented value and part of the cutting
data which ensures that the operation is
carried out efficiently and within the rec-
ommended scope of the tool material.
Spindle speed (n)in rpm is the number
of revolutions the milling tool on the
spindle makes per minute. This is a ma-
chine oriented value which is calculated
from the recommended cutting speedvalue for an operation.

Feed per minutealso known as the table
feed, machine feed or feed speed (v)
in mm/min is the feed of the tool in re-
lation to the workpiece in distance per
time-unit related to feed per tooth and
number of teeth in the cutter.
Maximum chip thickness (hex) in mm
is the most important limitation indica-
tor for a tool, for an actual operation. A
cutting edge on a milling cutter has been
designed and tested to have a recom-
mended starting value and a minimum
and maximum value.
Feed per tooth (fz) in mm/tooth is a
value in milling for calculating the table
feed. As the milling cutter is a multi-edge
tool, a value is needed to ensure that
each edge machines under satisfac-
tory conditions. It is the linear distance
moved by the tool while one particular
tooth is engaged in cut. The feed per
tooth value is calculated from the recom-
mended maximum chip thickness value.
The number of available cutter teethin
the tool (zn) varies considerably and is
used to determine the table feed while
the effective number of teeth (zc) is the
number of effective teeth. The material,
width of component, stability, power, sur-
face finish influence how many teeth are
suitable.
Feed per revolution (fn)in mm/rev is a
value used specifically for feed calcula-
tions and often to determine the finish-
ing capability of a cutter. It is an auxiliary
value indicating how far the tool moves
during the rotation.
Depth of cut (ap) in mm (axial) is what
the tool removes in metal on the face
from the workpiece. This is the distance
the tool is set below the un-machined
surface.
Cutting width (ae)in mm (radial) is the
width of the component engaged in cut by
the diameter of the cutter. It is distance
across the surface being machined or, if
the tool diameter is smaller, that covered
by the tool.
The average chip thickness (hm) is auseful value in determining specific cut-
ting force and subsequently power calcu-
lations. It is calculated in relation to the
type of cutter engagement involved.

The removal rate (Q)is volume of metal
removed per time in cubic-mm and can
be established using values for cutting
depth, width and feed.
The machining time (Tc)or period of cut-
ter engagement is the machining length
(lm) divided by the table feed.
The specific cutting force (kct)is a power
calculating factor taking into account the
material in question and for a chip thick-
ness value. It relates to machinability as
well as feed rate and cutting speed.
Power (Pc) and efficiency () are ma-
chine tool oriented values where the netpower can be calculated to ensure that
the machine in question can cope with
the cutter and operation.
As regards cutting geometry in milling,
the entering angle (r), or the major cut-
ting edge angle, of the cutter is the domi-
nant factor affecting the cutting force di-
rection and chip thickness. The choice of
insert geometry has been simplified into
three practical areas of varying cutting
action effects : Light (L), general purpose
(M) and tough (H) geometries.
Pitch (u) is the distance between teeth
on the cutter. It is the distance between
one point on one cutting edge to the same
point on the next edge. Milling cutters are
mainly classified into coarse (L), close
(M) and extra close (H) pitches, as well
as extra, extra close pitch. The different
pitches affect operational stability, power
consumption and suitable workpiece ma-
terial. A differential pitch means an un-
equal spacing of teeth on the cutter andis a very effective means with which to
counter vibration tendencies.

Application of milling cutters
Milling directionDuring the milling operation, the work-
piece is fed either with or against the
direction of rotation and this affects the
nature of the start and finish of the cut.
In Down milling (1) (also called climb
milling), the workpiece feed direction is
the same as that of the cutter rotation at
the area of cut. The chip thickness will
decrease from the start of the cut until it
is zero at the end of the cut in peripheral
milling.
In Up milling (2) (also called conven-
tional milling), the feed direction of the
workpiece is opposite to that of the cut-
ter rotation at the area of cut. The chip
thickness starts at zero and increases to
the end of the cut.
In Up milling, with the insert starting
its cut at zero chip thickness, there are
high cutting forces which tend to push
the cutter and workpiece away from each
other. The insert has to be forced into
the cut, creating a rubbing or burnishing
effect with friction, high temperatures
and often contact with a work-hardened
surface caused by the preceeding insert.Forces will also tend to lift the workpiece
from the table.
In Down milling, the insert start its cut
with a large chip thickness. This avoids
the burnishing effect with less heat and
minimal work-hardening tendencies. The
large chip thickness is advantageous
and the cutting forces tend to pull the
workpiece into the cutter, holding the in-
sert in the cut.
During milling, chips will sometimes
stick or weld to the cutting edge and be
carried around to the start of the next
cut. In Up milling, the chip can easily be
trapped or wedged between the insert
and workpiece, which can then result
in insert breakage. In Down milling, the
same chip would be cut in half and not
damage the cutting edge.
Down milling is preferred wherever the
machine tool, fixturing and workpiece will
allow.
Down milling, however, makes certain
demands on the process in that forces
tend to pull the cutter along while they
hold the workpiece down. This needs
the machine to cope with table-feed
play through back-lash elimination. If the
tool pulls into the workpiece, feed is in-
creased unintentionally which can lead
to excessive chip thickness and edge
breakage. Up milling should be selectedin such cases. Also when large varia-
tions in working allowance occur, up mill-
ing may be advantageous. Fixturing has
to be adapted to hold the workpiece cor-
rectly as well as having the right cutter
size for the job. The direction of cutting
forces are, however, more advantageous
as regards vibration tendencies.

The selection of milling cutter diameter
is usually made on the basis of the work-
piece width with the power availability
of the machine also being taken into ac-
count. The position of the cutter in rela-
tion to the workpiece engagement andcontact the cutter teeth have are vital
factors for successful operation.
There are three principal types of milling
cutter/workpiece relationship situations:
Firstly, when the workpiece width is larger
than or the same as the cutter diam-
eter, leading to thin chips at entry/exit
or when several passes are required.
(Typical of when the workpiece surfaces
are very large or the cutter diameter too
small for the application).
Secondly, (2) where the cutter-diameter
is somewhat larger than the workpiece
width, as is often case in facemilling.
(20 to 50% - often representing the ideal
situation especially in facemilling.)
Thirdly, (3) where the diameter is consid-
erably larger than the width of cut, with
cutter axis well outside the workpiece
width. (This is often the case with side
and facemilling, long edge milling and
endmilling.)
In facemilling especially, the workpiece
width should influence the milling cutter
diameter. The cutter diameter should
not be the same as the workpiece
width a diameter 20 to 50% larger
than the workpiece width is normally
recommended.
If several passes need to be taken,
these should be taken in a way that cre-ates the diameter/width relationship
of approximately 4/3 and not the full
diameter at each pass as this helps to
ensure good chip formation and suit-
able cutting edge load.
In the ideal situation, with the cutter be-
ing sufficiently larger than the workpiece
width, the milling cutter should always
be positioned slightly off-centre. Being
close to the centre is advantageous in
that the cut which each insert takes is
at its shortest and that entry and exit of
cuts are good from a chip formation and
shock-load point of view. However, when
the tool is positioned dead on centre, a
disadvantageous situation arises. Radial
forces of even magnitude will fluctuate in
direction as the cutting edges go in and
out of cut. The machine spindle can vi-
brate and become damaged, inserts may
chip resulting in poor surface finish.
Moving the cutter slightly off-centre will
mean a more constant force direction - a
type of pre-loading is achieved when the
cutter is against the workpiece.
Cutter diameter and position
Avoid positioning cutters on-centre.

Also linked to chip thickness in milling is
the entering angle of a facemill. This is
the angle between the main, leading cut-
ting edge of the insert and the workpiece
surface. Chip thickness, cutting forces
and tool-life are affected especially bythe entering angle. Decreasing the en-
tering angle reduces chip thickness for
a given feed rate and this chip thinning
effect spreads the amount of material
over a larger part of the cutting edge. A
smaller entering angle also provides a
more gradual entry into cut, reducing ra-
dial pressure and protecting the cutting
edge. The higher axial forces, however, in-
creases the pressure on the workpiece.
The most common entering angles today
are 45 degrees, 90 degrees, 10 degrees
and those of the round insert.
The 90 degree cutter will generate
mostly radial forces, in direction of the
feed. This means that the surface being
machined will not be subjected to very
much axial pressure, which is positive
for milling workpieces with a weak struc-
ture or thin walls. The main application
area however is for square shoulder mill-
ing, achieving a right-angled edge as a
result of the cut.
The 45 degree cutterhas radial and axial
cutting forces which are about the same
in value, giving rise to more balanced
pressure and being less demanding as
regards machine power. This is the gen-
eral purpose facemilling entering angle.
It is also especially suitable for milling
workpieces in short-chipping materials
that will fritter, because of excessive radi-
al forces acting on the dwindling amount
of material left at the end of a cut. It also
presents the cutting edge more gently at
the start of cut and gives rise to a lower
tendency for vibrations when milling with
long overhangs or smaller toolholding
facilities. The thinnner chip allows for
high productivity in many applications
because of the scope for higher table
feed while maintaining a moderate cut-
ting edge load. This often makes up for
the smaller depth of cut capability which
the smaller angle provides.
The 10 degree entering angle is used
on high-feed and plunge milling cutters.
This allows them to perfom at very high
cutting data, where the chip thickness is
small but the table feed is very high. Low
cutting forces are advantageous because
the dominant direction is axial, both as
regards radial and axial milling, limiting
vibration tendencies and providing a poten-
tial for very high metal removal rates.
The round insert cutterhas a continu-
ously variable entering angle, from zero
upwards to 90 degrees, depending upon
the cutting depth. The insert radius pro-
vides a very strong cutting edge, suit-
able for high table feed rates because
of the thinner chip generated along the
Entering angle

long cutting edge. The chip-thining ef-
fect is suitable for machining titanium
and heat resistant alloys. The change in
cutting force direction along the insert
radius and the resulting pressure during
the operation will depend upon the depthof cut. Modern insert geometry develop-
ments have made the round insert mill-
ing cutters more widely suitable because
of the smoother cutting action, requiring
less power and stability from the ma-
chine tool. Today, it is not a specialized
cutter anymore and should be regarded
as an efficient roughing cutter, capable
of high material removal rates.

Ramping and circular interpolation in helix
Ramping is an efficient way to approach the workpiece when
machining pockets. For larger holes, however, circular interpo-
lation in helix is much more power efficient and flexible than
using a large boring tool.

Methods for machining a cavity
Conventional method
Two axis ramping
One of the best methods to reach a
full axial depth of cut, is linear ramp-
ing in the X/Y and Z axis. Note that
if choosing the right starting point,
there will be no need for milling away
stock from the ramping section.
Ramping can start from in to out or
from out to in, depending on the ge-
ometry of the die or mould. The main
criterion is how to get rid of the chips
in the best way e.g. down milling
should be performed in a continuous
cut. When taking a new radial depth
of cut it is important to approach it
with a ramping movement or, prefer-
ably using smooth circular interpo-
lation. In HSM applications this is
crucial.The ramping angle is dependent
upon the diameter of the cutter used,
clearance to the cutter body, insert
size and depth of cut. The clearance
also depends upon the diameter of
the cutter.
Pre-drilling/peck-milling
Pre-drilling of a starting hole is not
recommended as one extra tool is
needed. Unproductive time for posi-
tioning and tool changing are nega-
tive factors, and also tool magazine
positions are unnecessarily filled.
Axial feed capability is an advantage
in many operations. Holes, cavities
as well as contours can be more ef-
ficiently machined.
A number of Coromant tools with this
capability are available in this cata-
logue. These tools are also favour-
able for weak machine spindles and
when using long overhangs, since
the cutting forces are mainly directed
axially.
If using a ball nose endmill it is
pretty common to use a peck-drilling
cycle to reach a full axial depth of
cut and then mill away a layer of the
cavity. This is then repeated until the
cavity is finished. The drawback with
this approach is that chip evacuation
problems rise at the centre of the
end mill.
A better method is to reach the full
axial depth of cut using circular inter-
polation in helix. It is also important
then to facilitate chip evacuation.
Three axis ramping
Feeding the tool in a helical shaped
path in the axial direction of the
spindle is mainly used in die and
mould making. This has several ad-
vantages when machining holes with
large diameters. Machining can be
performed with only one tool, usually
with no chip breaking and evacuation
or vibration problems, as the diam-
eter of the tool is smaller compared
to the diameter of the hole to be
machined.
It is recommended that the diameter
of the hole is twice the diameter of
the cutter.
The maximum ramping angle for the
cutter should also be checked when
using circular interpolation in helix.

- Ramping circular interpolation
Suitable tool is CoroMill 300 round insert cutterHelical interpolation to depth of cut : ap = 0.4 x iC (insert size) with a maximum ramping
angle depending upon cutter diameter
For maximum material removal rate select insert size (iC) 12 or 16 mm and fine-pitch
cutter. Ensure all programmed radii are 15% larger than cutter radius.
FacemillingAvoid milling over holes or slots whenever possible as these
interrrupted cuts are demanding on the cutting edges with mul -
tiple entries and exits. If possible make the holes in a subse -
quent operation. Alternatively, reduce the recommended feed
rate by 50% over the workpiece area containing the holes.
When machining large workpiece surface areas, select tool
path to keep the milling cutter in full contact rather than per -
form several parallel passes. When changing direction, include
a small radial tool path to keep cutter moving, avoiding dwell
and chatter tendencies.
Consider round insert cutters as first choice for facemilling
CoroMill 200 or CoroMill 300 with 45-degree cutter as alter -
native CoroMill 245. For milling against shoulders, select the
90 degree cutter CoroMill 390 as first choice.
Pocket milling- Rough machining of rectangular pockets through circular
interpolation.
Suitable tools are CoroDrill 880 or Coromant U-drill for drilling
and the CoroMill 390 long-edge cutter for milling.
The application is suitable for this method with drilling first and
then opening up through long-edge milling.
The drill diameter (Dc) should be 5 to 10 mm larger than that
of the long-edge cutter.
Apply a maximum depth of cut of 2 x Dc for the long-edge cutterand programme radial step-overs (ae) of 30 to 40%.
A large-diameter cutter will be capable of a high metal removal
rate but leaves more material in the corners to be machined in
a subsequent operation.
All programmed radii should be 15% larger than the cutter ra -
dius.
- Drilling followed by plunge milling , when pockets are deeper than twice the cutter
diameter
Suitable tools are CoroDrill 880 or Coromant U drill and CoroMill 2 10
The largets possible cutter diameter should be used and ensure that two teeth are
constantly engaged in cut.

390 long edge cutter.
When a slot is long and narrow, circular interpolation is not pos -
sible so the three options available require full-width machin -
ing. If the machine power allows it the cutter diameter selected
should be as close to the finished slot size, leaving just thefinishing allowance.

5 to 10 mm larger than the long-edge cutter. A maximum depth
of cut of 1 x Dc should be applied and a reduced feed at the
start to produce room for chip evacuation.
- drilling and plunge milling
Suitable tools are CoroDrill 880 or Coromant U drill and CoroMill 2 10.
Use a drill with a diameter (Dc) 1 mm larger than the milling cutte r.A maximum radial cutting depth of 12 mm (Dc : 50 mm) should be applied and two
teeth should constantly be engaged in cut.
- two-axis ramping
Suitable tool is CoroMill 300.
Two-axis ramping to depth of cut ap = 0.3 x iC
The maximum ramping angle is dependant upon cutter diameter. (5 degrees for 50mm). For maximum metal removal rate select insert size 12 or 16 mm and a fine-pitch
cutter.
Semi-roughing of cornersBefore actual finishing operations in a cavity, there are often
requirements to remove material in the form of a large radius
left by a roughing tool. Because of the normally small radius
requirement and relatively deep cavities involved, tools areslender enough to get into corners. This operation can be time
consuming, however, and is worth optimizing, even when two
different cutter diameters are needed to arrive at the finish.
- Rest-milling of 90-degree corners (pocket-depth up to 4 x Dc
of finished radius)
Suitable tools are CoroMill 390 and CoroMill Plura depending
upon diameter.
The cutter radius should be smaller than the corner radius to
avoid vibrations.
- Plunge milling (pocket depths larger than 3 x Dc or finished
corner)
Suitable tools are CoroMill 390, CoroMill 300 and CoroMill
Plura, depending upon diameter.

- Rest-millingof 90-degree corner (pock-

If there is a lot of material left after the
roughing operation a different machining
strategy should be approached. Above
all the cutter needs stability and good
reach so as to be able to make the larger
radial cuts.The Coromant U plunging drill is suitable
here as it allows cuts of up to 75% of the
cutter diameter which can then be fol-
lowed by semi-finishing using previously
described rest milling strategy.
- closed anglesare a common feature in
cavities and, depending upon the angle in-
volved between the two walls, two different
approches can be used. A pocket with a
5-axis-land can be finished with a square
endmill in a 4-axis machine. When a radius
is specified, a ball nose endmill is needed
to machine the radius. This, however, is
much longer machining process and re-
quires a 5-axis machine capability.

Application hints for milling:
check power capability and machine rigidity, making sure that the machine can handle the cutter diameter required
machine with the shortest possible tool overhang on the spindle
use the correct cutter pitch for the operation to ensure that there are not too many inserts engaged in cut causing vibration
while on the other hand, ensure there is sufficient insert engagement with narrow workpieces or when milling over voids
ensure that the right feed per insert is used to achieve the right cutting action through the recommended maximum chip
thickness
use down milling whenever possible
use positive-geometry indexable inserts whenever possible for smooth cutting action and lowest power consumption
select the right diameter in relation to the the workpiece width
select the most suitable entering angle
position the milling cutter correctly
only use coolant if considered necessary, milling is generally performed better without
follow tool maintenance recommendations and monitor tool wear

The wiper protrudes below the other inserts by approximately
0.05 mm. The wiper facet is crowned (large radius) to give a
step-free surface allowing for different spindle inclinations.
The feed per rev. (fn) should be limited to 60% of parallel land
to ensure a stepfree surface.
The most common reason for a bad result with a wiper insert is
incorrect mounting. To mount correctly, push the wiper radially and
slide axially against the third support point, before clamping.
Endmills
The surface finish will depend on the radial run-out of the end-
mill and both the cutter and its clamping have to be consid-
ered. The worst situation is where only one tooth generates the
surface finish, see sketch.
A change from down to up-milling can for some materials im-
prove the surface finish, and the same applies to the use of
coolants, especially when finishing sticky materials.
For finishing operations the radial depth of cut should be kept
low. This has an important effect on the deflection of cutter.
With an indexable endmill, tolerances and cutter deflection will
contribute to a deviation from a true 90 shoulder.
A surface finish is best described by its roughness and wavi-
ness values. The key to obtaining a good surface finish is to
use inserts with wiper flats.
Length of the wiper edge
If the feed per rev. is smaller than the length of the parallel land
the surface will be generated by the highest insert.

Countering vibrations in milling
Due to a number of factors tuned adapters are being used more
and more when machining with long overhangs. Workpieces are
becoming increasingly more complicated while machining opera-
tions need to be done ever faster. This means that there is no
time to re-position the workpiece, instead long tools are used to
reach all the surfaces to be machined in one mounting. This inturn means that in many cases the workpiece does not have suf-
ficient support in the fixture at every machining point.
To maintain maximum productivity when machining e.g a cavity its
important to choose the right extentions. To start with the long-
est will in many cases decrease the productivity due to vibration
problems. Therefore its better to choose a series of extensions
and start with the shortest one and use a tuned adapter in the
deepest sections.
On those occasions when cutting data has to be reduced be-
cause of problems with vibration, a tuned adapter provides an in-
crease in productivity.
Tapered tool adapters can be used in order to achieve as advan-
tageous a mounting as possible and in relation to machine and
tool. This optimizes the rigidity throughout the whole tool.
Workpiece support: In order to achieve the best results, the
workpiece should have correct support in relation to the cutting
forces which arise during the machining process. Machining in a
workpiece with an overhang should be avoided where there is no
support.
The condition and stability of the machine has an effect on the
quality of the surface which is generated. Excessive wear of the
spindle bearings or feed mechanism can result in a poor surface
structure. If the machine is not properly set and maintained, vibra-
tion can cause impaired tool-life and poor surface quality.
Tool: Choose the right milling cutter for the job in hand. Use the
correct ratio between the milling cutter diameter and the width of
the workpiece. Choose the correct tooth pitch, since too many
teeth in the milling cutter can cause excessive loading. Where
possible, use a positive geometry to reduce the cutting forces.
The positioning of the cutter is also extremely important in this
connection.
A basic rule/recommendation: When the total tool length, from
the gauge line to the lowest point on the cutting edge, exceeds
4-5 times the diameter at the gauge line, tuned, tapered bars
should be used.
Tuned toolsTuned tools used for milling, function in the same way as previ-
ously described for turning tools. That is to say that inside the tool
there is a heavy tuning body suspended on rubber bushes. If the
tool begins to vibrate, the heavy tuning body tries to counteract the
vibration so that it disappears entirely.
Sandvik Coromant offers tuned adapters in different versions, such
as Coromant Capto and HSK mountings, for both arbor mounting
face and shoulder milling cutters and smaller shank cutters with
threaded coupling. These tuned adapters for milling are preset as
for turning tools, which means that they can be used without any
additional measures.
Handling, storage and maintenance oftuned products
A tuned bar should be handled with care and should
never be exposed to blows or shaking to free a tuning
system which has stuck. A tuned bar is often stored hori-
zontally for practical reasons without causing any harm.
Under normal conditions a tuned bar will operate with-
out maintenance. However, rubber bushes which are
vital for the functioning of the damping system will age
with time and lose their spring characteristic and their
capacity to act as a complement to the oil in the damp-
ing system. When the critical point for service life of
the rubber bushes has been reached, the damping sys-
tem will cease to function.
The service life of the damping system is shortened if it
is exposed to intense heat. Therefore coolant should be
used to extend the service life of the damping system.

FlywheelVibration occurs frequently during side and face milling but this
problem can be remedied in an effective and simple way. In
addition to up milling, a flywheel can be fitted to the arbor on
which the milling cutter is set up. In order to improve stability
further when side and face milling, it is a basic rule to use the
largest possible flywheel to which the application permits.
The best way to make a flywheel is to use a number of round
carbon steel discs, each with a centre hole and key groove to fit
the arbor. For a particular flywheel weight the effect increases
as the diameter of the flywheel increases. This means that if
circumstances permit a large diameter, the weight of the fly-
wheel can be reduced. The flywheel weight can, if necessary, be
distributed over several flywheels where space permits.
Higher spindle speeds and a larger cut reduces the need for a
flywheel. The smallest possible milling cutter diameter should
be used for this so that the spindle speed can be increased for
a particular cutting speed.
Some rules of thumb for use of a flywheel
In a small machine with low power the need for
a flywheel is greater than in a large powerful ma-
chine.
Position the flywheel as close to the tool as pos-
sible.
Strengthening the workpiece mounting is always a
good investment.
The smoother machining, which results from using
a flywheel, leads to a reduction in noise and vibra-
tion, and a longer tool-life.
When mounting a tool on a tuned adapter it is important to
remember that there is a tuning body inside the adapter.
Since the adapter is not solid it can easily be deformed
and therefore must not be clamped in a screw clamp when
mounting is taking place. Deformation means that the tun-
ing system will be impaired or cease to function entirely.
The best way to mount a tool and adapter is to use fixtures
designed for the purpose.

When the machining results are affected by vibration
Unstable/weak tool holding Establish the direction of the cutting forces and position the material support
accordingly.
Try to improve the clamping generally.
Reduce the cutting forces by reducing the radial and axial cutting depth.
Choose a milling cutter with a coarse tooth pitch and positive design.
Choose positive inserts with a small corner radius and small parallel flats.
Where possible, choose an insert grade with a thin coating and a sharp cutting
edge. If necessary, choose an uncoated insert grade.
Avoid machining where the work-piece has poor support against cutting forces.
Unstable/weak workpiece
clamping
The first choice is a square shoulder facemill with positive inserts.
Choose an L-geometry with a sharp cutting edge and a large clearance angle
which produces low cutting forces.
Try to reduce the axial cutting forces by reducing the axial cutting depth, as well
as using positive inserts with a small corner radius, small parallel flats and
sharp cutting edges.
Large overhang either on the
spindle or the tool
Square shoulder milling with a
radially pliable spindle
Uneven table feed
Always use a coarse tooth pitch and a differentially pitched milling cutter.
Balance the cutting forces axially and radially. Use a 45 degree entering angle,
large corner radius or round inserts.
Use inserts with a light cutting geometry.
Try to reduce the overhang, every millimetre counts.
Choose the smallest possible milling cutter diameter in order to obtain the most
favourable entering angle. The smaller the milling cutter diameter the smaller theradial cutting forces will be.
Choose positive and light cutting geometries.
Try up milling.
Try up milling.
Look at the possibility of adjusting the feed screw on CNC machines. Adjust the
locking screw or replace the ball screw on conventional machines.

operation and the Coromant Material Classification
(CMC) code is needed.
See feed recommendations.
The cutter selected has a 45 entering angle (r) and

Max chip thickness (hex) for the operation is 0.17 mm
The material is SS1672-08 and corresponding CMC code is
01.2.
The cutting speed vcis approx. 283 m/min for CMC 01.2 (be-
tween 325 and 270 m/min for hex= 0.10 and 0.20 mm respec-
tively).
This cutting speed is valid for hardness HB150. If your hard-
ness is HB180 a compensation factor of 0.92 for the deviationof +30 units.
The compensated cutting speed becomes 0.925 x 283 m/min

Calculation of power consumption
Optimized power consumption calculation
The example is valid for 0 top rake angle. The power consump-
tion changes 1% per degree of change in top rake. A positive
top rake angle decreases the power consumption and a nega-
tive top rake increases the power consumption. A positive cut-
ter with +15 top rake angle requires 15% less power than a
cutter with 0 top rake angle.
Use multiplying factor from top rake angle to adjust Pc
values.
Example
For an engagement of 80% the K value is 5.4. For a top rake angle of +21 the Mvalue is 0.79.
For different insert geometries the power consumption
must be adjusted.
For each degree more positive top rake angle the power consump-
tion will decrease with 1%.
For a CoroMill 245 facemill with M-geometry. The M-geometry has
+21 top rake angle.

Milling in general
When machine power is a problem Go from close to coarse pitch, i.e. less number
of teeth.
A positive cutter is more power efficient than a
negative.
Reduce the cutting speed before the table feed.
Warning:
Be aware of the power curve for machining centres.
The machine may lose efficiency if the rpm is too
low.
Use a smaller cutter and take several passes.
Reduce the depth of cut.

Torque wrench for Torx Plus screws Note!Torx Plus is a registered trademark of Camcar-Textron (USA).
Wrench benefits:
ergonomic handle consisting of two materials, one of which
has a rubber base for best grip
a "click" function when tightening the screws- is impossible to over tighten.
a fixed stop in counter clockwise direction, making it easier
to loosening screws
design of blade tip has been optimised for best screw fitting
blade material consists of a higher class of material grade
Sandvik Coromant has introduced the Torx Plus system on all
insert screws to ensure an improved and secure clamping. The
new Torx Plus screws will keep their previous codes, while the
keys will change the code. All keys for insert clamping are con-
cerned: screwdrivers, T-style keys, L-style keys, flag-style keys
and combination keys (Torx Plus/hex).
The torque wrench for Torx Plus screws offers a possibility to
always ensure correct torque value, in the machine shop as
well as in the tool-room environments.
Correct torque values are imperative especially when clamping
ceramic and CBN inserts.
Always use protective goggles when using ceramic inserts.
Note!
The new Torx Plus keys and screw-drivers do NOT fit into the
standard Torx screws.
However, the standard Torx keys and screw-drivers will fit the
new Torx Plus screws.

Milling cutter mountings
Coromant Capto:provides the best stability and thus basis
for high productivity, reliablity and quality. Cutters are avail-
able as over-size in relation the the coupling for extended
tooling. Best choice, especially for long edge milling.Cylindrical shanks:Recommended for use with precision
chucks like CoroGrip for best stability and precision. Extra
long tools available.
Weldon:established tool mounting but not recommended
as first choice if productivity and precision are issues.
Arbor:established tool mounting and the only solution for
large-diameter cutters. Gives good stability for high produc-
tivity.
Threaded:modular system with exchangeable cutting heads.
Silent tool solution and carbide shank adapters for extended
tooling.

If problems should occur
Excessive vibration
1. Weak fixture
Possible solutions:
Assess the direction of cutting forces and provide adequate support or improve the fixture.
Reduce cutting forces by decreasing cutting depths.
Select a coarse and differentially pitched cutter with a more positive cutting action.
Select an L-geometry with small corner radius and small parallel land.
Seplect a fine-grain, uncoated insert or thinner coating
2. Weak workpiece
Consider a square shoulder cutter (90-degree entering angle) with positive geometry.
Select an insert with L-geoemetry
Decrease axial cutting force lower depth of cut, smaller corner radius and parallel land.Select a coarse-pitch cutter with differential pitch.
3. Long tool overhang
Minimize the overhang.
Use coarse-pitch cutters with differential pitch.
Balance radial and axial cutting forces 45 degree entering angle, large corner radius
or round insert cutter.
Increase the feed per tooth
Use a light-cutting insert geoemtry L/M
4. Milling square shoulder with weak spindle
Select smallest possible cutter diameter.
Select positive cutter and insert.Try up-milling.
Check spindle deflection to see if acceptable for machine.
5. Irregular table feed
Try up-milling
Tighten machine feed mechanism.
Unsatisfactory surface finish
1. Excessive feed per revolution
Set cutter axially or classify inserts. Check height with indicator.
Check the spindle run-out and the cutter mounting surfaces.
Decrease the feed per rev to max. 70% of the width of the parallel land.
Use wiper inserts if possible. (Finishing operations)
2. Vibration
See section on vibration.
3. Built-up edge formation on insert
Increase cutting speed to elevate machining temperature.
Turn off coolant.
Use sharp cutting edge inserts, with smooth rake side.
Use positve insert geometry.
Try a cermet grade with higher cutting data.

4. Back-cutting
Check spindle tilt (Tilt spindle approx 0.10mm/1000 mm)
Axial run-out of spindle should not exceed 7 microns during finishing.
Reduce the radial cutting forces (decrease the depth of cut)
Select a smaller cutter diameter.
Check the parallelism on the parallel lands and on wiper insert used. (Should not be
standing on heel or toe)
Make sure the cutter is not wobbling adjust the mounting surfaces.
5. Workpiece frittering
Decrease feed per tooth.
Select a close or extra-close pitch cutter.
Re-position the cutter to give a thinner chip at cutter exit.
Select a more suitable entering angle (45-degrees) and lighter cutting geometry.
Choose a sharp insert.Monitor flank wear to avoid excessive wear.
Insert fracture in general milling
1. Excessive chip thickness at cutter exit
Minimize the chip thickness at exit by changing the cutter position in relation to
workpiece.
Use down-milling
Decrease the feed per tooth.
Select a smaller cutter diameter.Use a stronger insert geometry (H).
Insert fracture in square shoulder milling
1. Swarf follows cutter in up-milling, getting stuck between shoulder and edge.
Change to down-milling.
Use compressed air.
Use a sharper insert to facilitate re-cutting of chips.
Monitor flank wear to avoid excessive wear.
2. Down-milling with several passes.
Consider performing the operation in one pass.
3. Chip jamming between shoulder and edge.
Try up-milling
Select a tougher insert grade.
Select a horisontal milling machine.
