Machining UpThe In’s and Out’s of Parting and Grooving

A few rules of thumb can yield tremendous benefits in parting and grooving.For parting applications, the feed rate at the exit/center is absolutely critical. Why is that? Carbide is strong under compressive stress but relatively weak under tensile stress. As a result, the insert sees compressive stress at the exit, which is abruptly transformed into tensile stress as the component breaks off.
