Common Problems When Using Solid Carbide End Mills and How to Fix Them Guide | Built-Up Edge (BUE)
Solid carbide end mills are renowned for their precision, durability, and ability to handle tough materials. However, like any tool, they can present challenges if not used properly. Understanding common problems when using solid carbide end mills and learning how to fix them can help you improve productivity, reduce costs, and extend tool life.
Built-Up Edge (BUE)
Problem: Built-up edge occurs when material adheres to the cutting edge of the tool, affecting cutting performance and surface finish.
Causes:
- Machining ductile materials like aluminum or copper
- Inadequate cutting speed or lubrication
Solution:
- Increase the cutting speed to reduce material adhesion.
- Use a sharp end mill with a polished surface to minimize BUE.
- Apply a high-quality coolant or lubricant during machining.
