Federal-Mogul reported that fracture occurred, eliminating the tool’s T-land edge, after about 600 cuts during a machinability test. Cutting force and acoustic frequency values immediately dropped because chip pinching on the T-land edge was eliminated. Surface finish values also dropped, suggesting easier chip formation and flow across.

Federal-Mogul Federal-Mogul reported that fracture occurred, eliminating the tool’s T-land edge, after about 600 cuts during a machinability test. Cutting force and acoustic frequency values immediately dropped because chip pinching on the T-land edge was eliminated. Surface finish values also dropped, suggesting easier chip formation and flow across the tool face. Although a fractured edge is not a desirable condition, the event illustrates the impact of a T-land edge preparation on the cutting forces, vibrations and chip flow during machining. To the point.
