Roughing
Roughing with Iscar cut grip tools is bi-directional. The steps of the cuts are as follows.
Feed straight down into the part. The distance is based on the depth of cut.
Feed straight over in Z.
Withdraw away from the wall and rapid back slightly in Z.
Feed straight down again based on the depth of cut.
Feed straight in the -Z direction.
Finishing
The cut grip style of finishing is performed using a unique strategy that is enabled by having a grooving tool that cuts in both directions.
Cut down the left hand wall up to the bottom radius.
Rapid up and over and plunge a relief groove.
Cut down the right-hand wall, through the bottom radius into the relief groove.
Cut along the bottom of the groove. This move is offset by a
deflection amount.
Cut up the left-hand bottom radius. This move is offset by a deflection amount.
If the Turn feature has multiple groove cavities, each cavity is cut in this way and the cavities are ordered from left to right:
