Chip evacuation
For best chip evacuation, use a tool holder with integrated coolant
and an insert geometry that gives short and spiral formed chips.
If you experience poor chip evacuation; try to increase the coolant
flow, change the insert geometry or increase the cutting speed to
get shorter chips.
Another alternative is to consider an alternative tool path. Up-side-
down cutting units actually permit improved chip evacuation.
Ensure that there is enough room for the chips between bar and
hole. Otherwise, the tool can press the chips onto the surface and
also damage the tool body.
Adjustment of nozzles
Use a hexagon key to turn the coolant flow on or off. For SL Quick
Change heads, use the same hexagon key to adjust the direction of
the nozzles.
Wiper inserts
For better surface finish and higher productivity, wipers can be an
optimizer in very stable conditions. General recommendations when
using wipers are to increase the feed and choose a smaller nose
radius.
