Re: To Interpolate or Not To Interpolate?
hy nicu, the reason why some teeth do not have a relief, may be because that is a wild tool
such tools have consecutive teeth with relief on alternative sides; in other words, look for relief on the 'other side'
half of all teeth are for cutting up, while the other half are for cutting down
if you are not certain about that tool, and it's geometry, etc, try to take it to a local tool grinding shop, and talk with the guys & girls from there / just saying, they should have the experience to analize it and maybe regrind it
about plunging, hmm, better try to interpolate; if you interpolate, you may also use a smaller tool, and this means that cutting will be smoother, less vibrations, etc
the drawing of the carbide tool (it’s custom)
maybe you can replace your custom tool with :
... normal end mill +
... mini indexable T mill, from iscar : https://www.iscar.com/eCatalog/Famil...pp=63&GFSTYP=M
or use upper combo for roughing, and finish with your custom tool, so to make that custom tool last longer / kindly
