Tooling for High Technology Surface quality For the definition of surface roughness measured values are defined by DIN-ISO. In particular it means: - Single surface roughness depth Z1 ... Z5 This is the vertical distance between the highest and the lowest point of the roughness profile R within a single measured length le. - Average roughness depth Rz (DIN 4768) This is defined as the average value resulting from the single roughness depths of five successive single measured lengths Ie. - Average roughness value Ra (DIN 4768) This is defined as the arithmetical mean of the absolute sums of the...

Improvement of feed rate by drag-cut with TOP System By using the TOP system with drag-cut and a 93º holder the feed rate can be increased up to 2 times. This way the machining time can be decreased significantly by keeping the same quality. On the other hand within the same machining time the surface roughness can be improved clearly. The following example illustrates the principle exactly. Holder 93° Corner radius 0.8 mm Holder 93° Corner radius 0.8 mm multidec®-TOP insert
