Selection of Inserts
For a proper match of insert and cutting
A self-clamped tool is recommended for deep radial
machining. A screw-clamp holder is recommended
material to application, the following variables Insert Support
must be taken into consideration: for axial and small D.O.C. machining.
• Width of cut (width of insert)
• Chipformer style 90˚ Mounting
• Lead angle It is very important that the insert is mounted at 90º
• Corner radius to the center line of the workpiece in order to obtain
• Carbide grade perpendicular surfaces and reduce the risk of vibration.

required D.O.C. The ratio D.O.C.≈ 8xW.O.C. is of practical
use on alloy steel of average machinability. For example, Machine Power and Setup Rigidity

capacity, relative to the ratio, are: Expensive Workpiece Material

Holder or Blade Size On costly metals the narrowest applicable
To minimize risk of vibration and deflection always choose: W.O.C. should be used.
• Blade or toolholder with smallest possible overhang.
• Toolholder with maximum shank dimension.
• Blade height (B) dimension which is larger than Tmax.
• Blade or holder with maximum blade width (largest
possible insert seat size).
Example:
• A W.O.C. 9.5 mm on blade TGFH 53K-9
• (B=52.6 mm) extends the ratio of D.O.C. to
W.O.C. by some 50% to 120 mm.
