KTMS™ Slotting Cutter Primary Application KTMS slotting cutter produces "T" slots in machine beds as well as small radial depths of cut for machining shallow radial slots. There is always a need to prepare the slot before using this type of cutter — preparation is the key to success. See the technical information for information about the pre-machining on page Q6. Please note that all of these cutters have metric diameters, 1 Only available in metric dimensions. » Slot widths from 9-22mm. 1 Three different insert sizes. 1 Preparing the component before 1 Prepare workpiece with a slot. 1...

• Prepare workpiece with a slot. • Honed insert edges. • Feed rates between 0,10-0,15mm; lower feed rates will induce vibration. • Use air flow to evacuate chips. • Always start the cutting process with a new cutting edge.

Technical Information • Machining a vertical slot, depth to be kept at a minimum as shown in Figure 1. • If the depth is greater than Figure 1, chip evacuation problems could occur. • Vibrations could occur when the T-slot cutter diameter increases; use Figure 1 as the starting point. • If chattering is a concern, adopt the Figure 2 solution. • Fewer problems with chip evacuation and reduced cutting forces enable deeper vertical slots as shown in Figures 2 and 3. • Air blast is recommended to disperse the chips; this can be used for steel and cast iron. ■ Cutting Data Table • Slotting *Vs =...
