Sandvik Coromant – How to reduce vibration in metal cutting

Turning

Choice of insert

Choosing the right insert can be enough to eliminate vibration and also

improve your manufacturing productivity.

Nose radius:

It is important to choose a nose radius that is smaller than the cutting depth

as this has the same effect as choosing the correct entering angle. If the nose
radius is too large it will push the tool in the radial direction and affect the
dimensions of the component.

Wiper inserts act as a large nose radius and will generally need a bit more

care when applying to internal turning. To decrease the radial cutting forces
it is a normal requirement to increase the feed.

Practical hints:

Always choose a smaller nose radius than the cutting depth.
