negative rake insert

Such negative rake inserts are normally configured so that the cutting edge toward the direction of cut is inclined downwardly from the body of the insert. This is in contrast to conventional inserts with a cutting edge which is directed obliquely towards the direction of cutting. As a result of this peculiar structure, Carbide Gear Hobs Cutting Tool negative rake inserts can contribute to improving machining performance.

Rolls performed the comparison with comparable studies from traditional inserts. An advantage is, in particular, that a better stability can be achieved during machining. This means the tool performs with less vibration, bounce, and chatter resulting in a smoother, hole finish.

Improving performance with negative rake inserts

A further benefit of the negative rake inserts is that they may aid in reducing the production of heat during machining. This can be particularly useful since excessive heat can destroy both the material being cut as well as the cutting tool. This negative rake insert feature allows you to keep the heat down and the temperature on the cutting edge to prevent problems related to heat.

Negative rake inserts are also useful in enhancing the tool life. Since these inserts are designed to be more robust and produce less heat, they can also last longer than other inserts. So, it’s possible you won’t have to replace them fully quite as frequently, which can help time- and pocket-book-wise in the long haul.
