5.1 Sizing and grooving leitz The dimensions in the table below refer to the following tool parameters: Shank tolerances The recommended RPM and feed speeds are detailed in the diagrams next the tool tables. The following plunging methods are recommended for sizing and grooving tools: Ramp plunging Spiral plunging Router bits with mainly negative cutting shear angles and HW solid router bits with RH/LD and LH/RD and router bits without plunging edge are not suitable for axial plunging. Axial plunging

Position the tool relative to the workpiece Tools with high negative shear angle. Tools with high positive shear angle.. Reference Reference point: point: Top of Top of workpiece workpiece Reference Reference point: point: Bottom of workpiece Bottom of workpiece or machine or machine table table Workpiece clamping Sufficient workpiece clamping is very important on stationary machines. Insufficient clamping can reduce both the cut quality and tool life considerably. Panels can be held in place with vacuum clamping, but sometimes additional mechanical clamping is required. Small and and...
