Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around obtaining cutting speed and depth of cut data for ceramic cutting tools, specifically for various types of ceramics. Participants are seeking technical specifications to create their own data sheets for commercial purposes.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests comprehensive data on cutting speeds and depths for all ceramic types.
  • Another participant suggests that manufacturer's technical data sheets are the best source for this information and provides typical values for carbide coated tools.
  • A participant clarifies their need for data to create a technical sheet for ceramic cutting tools that their company will sell.
  • A link to a resource is shared, which may contain relevant information for the requester.
  • Concerns are raised about the reliability of the provided cutting speeds and feeds, emphasizing that they are general values and not specific to ceramic tools.
  • One participant expresses worry about the manufacturer lacking essential information for safe cutting speeds and recommended feeds, questioning the quality of the products.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the availability of reliable data for ceramic cutting tools. There are differing views on the adequacy of the information provided by manufacturers and the implications for product quality.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the specificity of the cutting speeds and feeds mentioned, as they are based on a wide range of materials and tool types rather than being tailored for ceramic cutting tools. The discussion also highlights a lack of access to detailed technical sheets from the manufacturer.

Could somebody help me to get information of cutting speed and depth of cut for ceramic cutting tools?
I would need to have a data for all the ceramic types.
Thanks!

The manufacturer's technical data sheets should tell you everything you need to know.

A vague question gets a vague answer, so as a guide, for turning, carbide coated tools run at cutting speeds from 25-360m/s, at feed speeds between 0.25-1.5mm/rev.

Clearing up!

Thanks Brewnog!

The thing is, at the company that I work will start to sell Ceramic Cutting Tools and I don't have a technical sheet for it, therefore I want a help to get it in order to formulate one of our own.

Thanks for your help!
 
I wouldn't start recommending customers with feeds and speeds based on the information I gave you; those details were just typical values for a wide range of workpiece materials and tool types.

The tool manufacturer will be able to give you all the technical data you need.
 
Thanks!

It happens that my sister company is the manufacturer and they don't have this info., therefore I need to put it together in order to start selling it.
I've got some info. from Kennametal, but it's metal inserts.

I'm a bit concerned that the manufacturer doesn't have information for safe cutting speeds, let alone recommended feeds and speeds!

I guess that's no-brand quality right there.
