TECHNICAL INFORMATION
MACHINING OPTIMIZATION
For new users of Lamina Technologies Multi-Mat TM (multi-material) inserts and to get more
productivity and longer tool life, we have prepared a short machining guide to insure your
satisfaction with our products.
The machining conditions included after each insert are our guidelines for optimal machining.
However, our inserts can work in a range of cutting conditions to meet special machining needs.
TURNING
Coolant
Check the condition of the
tool holder (insert seat, shim,
lever, screw) and check if
the insert is well seated and
clamped.
If there are interrupted
cut or passes with short
lengths of cut, dry operation
is recommended to avoid
thermal shocks. For heavy
interrupted cut feed rate
should be reduced.

Cutting speed has the
greatest influence on tool
life. For high productivity and
long tool life, first increase
d.o.c. and feed rate.

Check the stability of the
machine. The tool overhang
should be as short as
possible.
