Troubleshooting for End Mills PROBLEM SUGGESTIONS Chipping Check part rigidity Verify speeds and feeds Confirm concentricity of end mill in holder Decrease ramp angle or slow down approach Check coolant flow and location Breakage Decrease feed rate Decrease axial depth Use shorter tool or stub holder Resharpen earlier Chattering Too light of a cut Leave […]
Troubleshooting for Reamers PROBLEM SUGGESTIONS Hole diameter too large Check part rigidity Verify speeds and feeds Confirm concentricity of reamer in holder Confirm diameter of reamer Check coolant flow and location Hole diameter too small Leave more stock before reaming Reamer worn Check coolant flow and concentration Resharpen earlier Hole not straight Hole was not […]
Reamer | Not evacuating Suggestions: Verify speeds and feeds Check coolant flow, location, and concentration Reamer worn
Reamer | Wear Suggestions: Speed too fast Too light of a feed Confirm concentricity of reamer in holder Check coolant flow, location, and concentration
Reamer | Tool life Suggestions: Work material harder than expected Verify speeds and feeds Not evacuating chips properly Too light of a cut
Reamer | Part finish Suggestions: Reamer worn Verify speeds and feeds Confirm concentricity of reamer in holder Check coolant flow and location Check part rigidity
Reamer | Hole diameter too small Suggestions: Leave more stock before reaming Reamer worn Check coolant flow and concentration Resharpen earlier
Reamer | Hole not straight Suggestions: Hole was not drilled properly Leave more stock before reaming Confirm concentricity of reamer in holder Check part rigidity
Reamer | Hole diameter too large Suggestions: Check part rigidity Verify speeds and feeds Confirm concentricity of reamer in holder Confirm diameter of reamer Check coolant flow and location
End Mill | Wall not straight Suggestions: Decrease feed rate Decrease axial depth Use shorter tool or stub holder Use different style of end mill
