CNC – Reducing radial force in turning and boring
You need to reduce the radial force to:
1. Reduce bending of long parts
2. Reduce vibrations, improve surface finish and dimensional accuracy
3. Reduce distortion of thin walled parts.
Just 4 rules to achieve this:
1. Use a holder style with a larger approach angle, ideally 90 degrees.
2. Use an insert with a smaller nose radius
3. Use a positive insert
4. Use an insert with a sharper edge
The Document on reducing radial cutting forces in CNC turning explains the 4 rules in more detail.
