Essential Care Guide for Preventing Machining and Human Damage

General Care Guide for AKKO Indexable Cutting Tool Holders

1. Regular Inspection: Frequently check the cutting tool holders for any signs of wear, damage, or misalignment. Look for chips, cracks, or excessive wear on the clamping mechanisms and ensure that all components are functioning correctly.

2. Proper Cleaning: After each use, clean the tool holders to remove chips, coolant, and debris. Use a soft brush or cloth to avoid scratching the surface and ensure that no contaminants interfere with performance.

3. Lubrication: Apply appropriate lubrication to the moving parts of the tool holders as recommended by the manufacturer. This reduces friction and wear, enhancing the lifespan of the tool holders.

4. Correct Storage: Store tool holders in a designated, clean, and dry area to prevent damage. Utilize protective cases or racks to keep them organized and shield them from physical impacts.

5. Compatibility Checks: Always verify that the tool holders are compatible with the indexable inserts and cutting tools being used. This ensures optimal performance and reduces the risk of damage.

Care Guide for Tungsten Carbide Indexable Inserts

1. Regular Inspection: Frequently check indexable inserts for wear, chipping, or dullness. Replace any inserts that show significant signs of damage to maintain cutting efficiency.

2. Proper Cleaning: Clean the inserts after each use to remove chips, coolant, and other debris. Use a soft brush or cloth to avoid scratching the insert's surface.

3. Correct Storage: Store tungsten carbide inserts in a designated, dry area to prevent damage. Use protective containers to keep inserts organized and safe from impacts.

4. Use Appropriate Cutting Conditions: Ensure that you are using the correct cutting speeds and feeds based on the material being machined. This helps to prolong the life of the inserts and maintain performance.

5. Lubrication: When applicable, use cutting fluids or lubricants to enhance performance and reduce wear. This is particularly important when machining harder materials.

Care Guide for LAIP Rotating Tool Holders

1. Regular Inspection: Inspect rotating tool holders frequently for signs of wear, damage, or misalignment. Ensure that all components, including the clamping mechanisms, are functioning properly.

2. Cleaning: Clean the tool holders after each use to remove chips, coolant, and other contaminants. Use a soft brush or cloth along with a suitable cleaning solution, avoiding abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.

3. Proper Storage: Store tool holders in a clean, dry environment to prevent corrosion. Use protective cases or racks to keep them organized and avoid physical damage.

4. Lubrication: Apply appropriate lubrication to moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer. This will help reduce friction and extend the lifespan of the tool holders.

5. Compatibility Checks: Ensure that the tool holders are compatible with the tools you are using. Mismatched tools can lead to poor performance and damage to both the holder and the tool.

Care Guide for The Kendu HSS and Solid Carbide End Mills

1. Regular Inspection: Check your end mills for wear, damage, or dullness before and after each use. Inspect the cutting edges for chips and ensure they are sharp to maintain performance.

2. Proper Cleaning: Clean the end mills after use to remove chips, cutting fluids, and debris. Use a soft cloth or brush, and avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

3. Storage: Store end mills in a designated storage container or protective case to prevent damage. Keep them in a dry and clean environment to avoid rust for HSS and corrosion for carbide.

4. Cutting Conditions: Use appropriate cutting speeds and feeds based on the material you are machining. Overloading the end mills can lead to premature wear or breakage.

5. Lubrication: When necessary, apply cutting fluid to improve performance and extend the life of the end mills, especially when machining harder materials.
