  • WORK TYPE: VMC
  • MACHINE: MATSUURA RA-IIIF

    The first five images show a partial process of the flange profile operation. The last three images show the 2 pieces brought together. There are two videos demonstrating a roughing operation using a Iscar 1" end mill with two inserts.
    The cutting tools roughing operating is at 2563.22rpm/30.7586ipm (inches per minute). Axial depth is .1875 ap, and the radial depth is .300+ ae.

    The first video shows the mentioned roughing operation using a tool that has a 1.4" reach, the second is showing a tool that has a 3.1"reach. Both tools are used in conjunction with one another to achieve part depth and increase cutter insert life as well as rigidity for the first half of the operation.
