® T-A ® Insert System Guidelines T-A ® Insert System Guidelines for Use • Select the shortest holder possible for the application • Use our catalogue pages 64-70 ’Recommended Cutting Data’ for guidance in selecting correct insert grade, speed and feed information. These cutting parameters are starting conditions only and make no allowance for machine or component rigidity. For more detailed application guidelines, use our ‘Electronic Product Selector’ (available free of charge on request) to obtain: • Recommended grade of insert. • Recommended cutting speed. • Recommended cutting feed. • Minimum coolant requirements. • Machine power / thrust requirements • Ensure the T-A ® holder is held securely and is within 0.02/0.07mm of centreline • The T-A ® insert should be installed in the slot of the holder using the Torx Screws provided which should be tightened to the values listed on page 61 ‘Holder Accessories’. The holder slot should be clean and free from dirt or debris. • Check the insert outer diameter is a minimum 0.3mm larger than the holder body diameter. • When setting up new applications, check coolant flows adequately through the tool before commencing machining. It is best practice to: • Drill a short hole 1 x diameter deep initially. • The chips produced should be short in length, self coloured, not straw or blue. • Measure the hole produced to check that it is to the desired tolerance. • If all is correct, continue to machine the remainder of the hole. • Ensure the drilling process is quiet and smooth with no chip packing. • If chip packing is occurring, stop the drill and refer to the ‘Problems and Solutions’ guide on catalogue pages 80-81. Extended length holders When using extended length holders a short holder will be required to produce a pilot hole 1 x D deep with the same diameter insert. Note: Carbide inserts should not be used in Extended or longer length holders. XL and 3XL Holders For cutting data and coolant recommendations please refer to ‘Recommended Cutting Data’ - HSS inserts - Pages 64-66 and ‘Coolant Recommendations’ - Page 71 then follow the instructions at the foot of the pages for the relevant multiplying factors. Note: Never start or continue rotation of an XL or 3XL tool holder without proper engagement with a work piece or fixture. Failure to due so could result in tool failure and/or bodily injury. It is best practice to: • Establish a pilot hole using the same diameter T-A ® Drill Insert in a short holder to a depth of 2 - 3 diameters deep. • Enter the pilot hole with the XL or 3XL Holder and Drill Insert with the spindle stationery or at low RPM (10 - 20). • Increase speed and feed to recommended data in table, ensuring chips are short and are being evacuated by coolant throughout the length of the hole. If chip control is not obtained, please contact AMEC for assistance. • At the end of the drilling cycle do not remove the holder from the hole whilst at full RPM, stop spindle or reduce to low RPM (10 - 20). Spot and Chamfer Inserts – SP Use cutting data as per standard T-A ® HSS Drill Inserts, in stub or short length holders. Speed should be calculated for the required spot or chamfer diameter. Flat Bottom Insert – FB For cutting data refer to catalogue pages 67 and 70 ‘Recommended Cutting Data - Flat Bottom Drill Inserts’. Please contact Allied Maxcut’s Engineering department for advice when attempting to drill from solid. Allied Maxcut T-A ® Electronic Product Selector To illustrate the versatility of the T-A ® System, an Electronic Product Selector has been developed in a choice of 10 languages. The T-A ® Product Selector will offer the correct holder and insert combination for a specific application, giving accurate feeds and speeds along with the required machine thrust and power. The T-A ® Product Selector contains over 3000 standard materials and covers over 90% of standard drilling applications in the market place. Contact AMEC Marketing Department for your free copy. 62
