Walter Cut:
Tigertec cutting materials for grooving
and parting off
Completely innovative coatings and

geometries achieve peak performances
when grooving and parting off.
With this innovative development, it is
possible for the first time to apply an
aluminum oxide coating in a PVD
process to carbide indexable inserts.
Tigertec for Walter Cut
This PVD Tiger offers a previously

unknown degree of toughness and wear
resistance which is particularly
important in parting off.
In addition to this patented PVD
Tigertec coating and the proven CVD
Tigertec coating, there is a complete
Tigertec cutting tool material
package available for the Walter Cut
parting off system.
The application
The INSERT GRADES
For grooving and parting off

From unfavorable to stable conditions
The Walter Tigertec grades cover
the complete range of grooving
WSP43 Tigertec PVD Al2O3

Maximum toughness and process
reliability for difficult to machine
materials, including heat resistant
alloys, steel and stainless steel
The cutting material for unfavorable
conditions, e.g., heavily interrupted
cuts, very unstable clamping,
unstable machines and low cutting
speeds
Your advantages
High productivity due to a reliable
machining process
High temperature resistance
in conjunction with high
toughness especially when
parting off to center
High cutting edge stability due to
low coating temperature and at
the same time offering high wear
resistance
Smooth surface to reduce
built-up cutting edges
WSM33 Tigertec PVD Al2O3

Maximum resistance to wear and
temperature for difficult to machine
materials including heat resistant
alloys, steel and stainless steel
The universal cutting material covers
the majority of all applications
WPP23 Tigertec CVD
Maximum hot hardness and wear
resistance for steel
For use in stable conditions in
conjunction with high cutting speeds

ITS STRONGER.
ITS TOUGHER.
IT GROOVES!
The new generation of Walter Cut tools.

Because compromise is not an option
when it comes to grooving.
Expect more.
Engineer what you envision.

User Guide parting off

Tool selection
General
It is essential to note that the most rigid tool possible should be selected.
This can reduce vibrations and increase the tool edge life.
Insert width
S
The insert width should be as narrow as
possible, but as wide as necessary.
By reducing the insert width, the
cutting force is reduced and saves
material.
Grooving depth
The max. grooving depth [Tmax] of the tool
or the max. overhang length of the
steel blade should not exceed
8 x insert width s.
The tool selected should always have
the minimal amount of overhang possible.
32
1. Use a neutral edge where possible

Improved chip formation
Lower axial forces
Longer tool life
ICE
HO
1st C
2. Use the smallest insert width possible

Lower cutting force
Reduced material consumption
3. Use the largest tool possible (in relation to the height of the body)
Greater tool rigidity
Reduced risk of vibration
Longer tool life
33

Effect of a lead angle on machining
The insert is viewed from above in order
to determine the hand of the cutting
edge (right/left).
The following rule applies:
Direction of rotation of the machine
spindle:
clockwise
right cutting edge
counter-clockwise left cutting edge
neutral
right-hand
left-hand
When solid material is parted

off, the use of inserts with
lead angles reduces the size
of 'nib' remaining on the
component that has been
parted off.
When hollow material is parted off, the

use of inserts with lead angles prevents
stock remaining, which could, in some
circumstances, interfere with the rest
of the production process. It also leads
to lower burr formation.
The use of inserts with lead angles always has a negative effect on the
tool life. If possible, neutral inserts should be used.
34
When inserts with lead angles are

used for parting off, the angle is likely
to cause poor chip formation.
The chip revolves at 90 to the main
cutting edge thereby not taking
on a clockspring shape (as with
a neutral insert), but instead that
of a spiral coil.
A
One possibility for guiding the chip is to interrupt cutting briefly once a grooving
depth of 12 x insert width s is reached. Once cutting resumes, the chip will flow in
FP
FP
the existing groove.
FN
The feed values must be

reduced by approximately
30%, because the tool is
affected by the resultant
axial force (Fn), which can
lead to vibration and convex
machined surfaces.

Tool set up
1. Tool must be aligned 90 to the axis of rotation
0.004"/4.0"
Better machined face flatness

2. Check center height
CH +0.002" +0.002"
Improved tool life

Reduced nib/burr formation
CH
If the tool is positioned over or under center, the effective rake and front
clearance angles change during machining.
3. Set the tool in the machine as short as possible

Better machined face flatness
Improved tool life
Clamp the workpiece as short as possible

Machining
Chamfering and parting off
1. Pre-groove
2. Chamfer
3. Part off
Chamfering internally before parting off

The corner cutting edge of the chamfering
tool and parting off tool must be precisely
aligned to achieve as burr-free a result as
possible.
Parting off to a bore

The hole must be pre-bored deep
enough that the entire insert width of
the parting off tool engages in the
cylindrical section of the hole.

Fault analysis
Large residual nib / burr
Reduce the feed value by 5070% at diameter
1.5 x s (s = insert width)
Use an insert with lead angle
Use a narrower insert (reduce the cutting force)
Use a smaller corner radius
Use a more positive geometry
Check the center height
Poor surface / vibration

Use a more rigid tool
Clamp the tool with a shorter overhang
Check whether the insert seat is damaged
Increase the cutting speed
Increase the feed
Damage caused by chips
Use a geometry with greater chip forming
Lower the cutting speed
Use neutral inserts
Optimize coolant
Poor chip formation

Lower the cutting speed
Improve coolant
Use a geometry with greater chip forming
capability
Poor face flatness

Use an insert without, or with a small, lead angle
Use a tool with the shortest possible cutting depth for the application
Reduce the feed for inserts with a lead angle
Use a smaller corner radius
Check for proper tool alignment
38

Wear analysis
Flank face wear
Use a more wear-resistant grade
Reduce the cutting speed
Improve coolant conditions
Plastic deformation
Use a more wear-resistant grade
Reduce feed
Reduce the cutting speed
Chipping
Use tougher grades of carbide
Use a more rigid tool
Use stronger geometries
Use a wider insert if necessary
Check the center height
Built-up cutting edge

Increase the cutting speed
