1 Parameters to Consider in Selecting Tools


Insert shape, insert grade, toolholder type, method of holding the insert in the holder.

ISO standards

2 Selecting Insert Shape and Grade 


The cutting edge angle must have an inclination of a minimum of 3 degree towards the machined face.

2.1 Selection of insert shape



2.2 Selecting the insert grade
P10 to P40 and K05 to K40 are illustrated in a figure.

3. Standards for Indexable Inserts


3.1 The first digit
First digit represent insert shape. Available shapes: Round, square, 80 degree/100 degree diamond, Triangle, 55 degree diamond, 35 degree diamond

3.2 The second digit
This digit represents clearance angle

3.3 The third digit
Tolerances

G represents ground insert. It is used for tolerances in the range 0.07 to 0.15 mm.

M represents unground insert.



3.4 The fourth digit
Type of insert

3.5 The fifth digit
Cutting edge length

Cutting edge length is related to the depth of cut.
Cutting edge length of the insert has to be at least double the maximum cutting edge engagement.

3.6 The sixth digit
Insert thickness (T)

It is calculated based on the formula

T = 3*L^3*f^0.6
L = cutting edge length engagement (mm)
f = feed rate (mm/revolution)

To specify commercially available thickness add zero before the result and specify whole number. For example 4.76 is 04, 6.35 will be 06.



3.7 The seventh digit
Tool nose radius

In the book  Table 5 in the chapter gives recommended nose radius as a function of depth of cut.

For a depth of cut less than 0.5mm, the recommended nose radius is 0.2 to 0.4 mm.
For 3 to 10mm d.o.c. 0.8 to 1 mm nose radius is recommended
For 20 to 30 mm d.o.c. 2 to 3 mm nose radius is recommended.

4. Standards for Toolholders


4.1 The first digit
Clamping system

A line contact is being used on the pocket wall for locating inserts in the pocket of the toolholder.

An unthreaded cam pin is used as locking member. Various tool manufacturers have patents on this method.

Top clamping method is there. There is hole clamping also.

4.2 The second digit
insert shape

4.3 The third digit
Toolholder type in relation to entering angles

The entering angle is referred to as cutting edge angle. Smaller cutting angles are preferred.
1. The cut is spread over a broader section of the cutting edge.
2. It has greater heat dissipating capacity
3. It protects the tool nose radius area.

Toolholder with shank offset can work nearer to the chuck jaws without turret carriage interference.


4.4 The fourth digit

Cutting Tool Technology: Industrial Handbook

Graham T. Smith
Springer Science & Business Media, 03-Jul-2008 - Technology & Engineering - 600 pages

Cutting Tool Technology provides a comprehensive guide to the latest developments in the use of cutting tool technology. The book covers new machining and tooling topics such as high-speed and hard-part machining, near-dry and dry-machining strategies, multi-functional tooling, ‘diamond-like’ and ‘atomically-modified’ coatings, plus many others. Also covered are subjects important from a research perspective, such as micro-machining and artificial intelligence coupled to neural network tool condition monitoring. A practical handbook complete with troubleshooting tables for common problems, Cutting Tool Technology is an invaluable reference for researchers, manufacturers and users of cutting tools.
