Heavy and semi-heavy machining require chip breakers designed for the task. Wide chip breakers optimize chip control at large depths of cut and high feeds. Cutting edge strength is maximized with a flat, negative land design. Conversely, finishing operations benefit from smaller chip breakers to facilitate chip breaking due to reduced cutting force. In finishing, prioritize cutting edge sharpness with a positive land and small edge honing. CNMM insert excel in roughing applications.

CNMM insert Introduction
1. Dimensions
形狀: 夾角為 80 度的菱形(菱形)。
間隙角:Negative (typically in the range of -5 to -7 degrees).
Tolerance:Medium (‘M’) is typical, but other tolerances may exist for specialized needs.
內切圓 (IC):Determines the overall insert size (common: 12.7mm, 16mm).
厚度:Impacts strength and cutting edge count (common: 4.76mm, 6.35mm).
角落半徑:Affects strength and surface finish (common: 0.4mm, 0.8mm, 1.2mm).
2. Chipbreaker Geometries
Hugely Important:Chipbreakers shape how chips form and break, ensuring efficient chip flow, tool protection, and workpiece finish.
Manufacturer-Specific:Chipbreaker designations are coded into the CNMM code (the “MM”). Refer to manufacturer catalogs for the specifics.
Match to Operation:Consider:
Workpiece material
Depth of cut (light vs. heavy)
Desired finish
3. Hole Configuration
Central Hole:For secure clamping on toolholders.
Hole-less:Rely on alternative clamping mechanisms.
Toolholder Compatibility:Essential to match the insert’s hole configuration to your toolholder.
4. Coating and Substrate
塗層:Common types include TiN, TiAlN, CVD, and PVD. Each offers different wear resistance, thermal properties, and suitability for various materials.
Substrate:The base carbide material the coating is applied to. Compositions vary, offering toughness vs. wear resistance trade-offs.
Application-Specific:The right grade is crucial for optimal performance and tool life.
