This may be a dumb question but I am very new to Lathe work and have to do some face grooving in 304l. It seems everytime I get this job in I have to dial out this problem. My solution will work for a full batch and then the next time I run the job it fights me again. I have an iscar face grooving tool with a .156 wide insert.
The groove dimensions are as follows
OD: 1.230
ID: .5
Depth .05
I'm currently plunge grooving out the material and then turning the bottom depth and walls but somewhere I'm getting chatter. I think it is due to the first initial plunge cut.
On face grooving, the tools show min and max diameters? I can't quite wrap my head around this specification? Is this the first cut diameter range or max / min range for the tool?
So if my tool range is from 1.15 to .4 and I try and take a cut at 1.230 it is going to rub correct? Will I be successful if I take a cut at 1.0 and then step out to the larger diameter?
