How to Adjust (Regular Type)

If there is any issue using this product, refer to the methods described below.

If Burrs Remain

If burrs remain, try the following adjustments even if the burr thickness is below 0.2 mm and the recommended depth of cut is used.

▮ Rotational Speed
Increase the rotational speed to the maximum.

▮ Rotational Direction
For horizontal burrs, the Brush should be applied in a way that it pushes burrs upward and up cut (climb) milling ensures this.

▮ Brush Color (Grinding Power)
Grinding power: A32 (Blue) > A21 (White) > A11 (Red) > A13 (Pink)
Make sure to select appropriate Brush color based on the workpiece material and burr thickness.

If the Edge Rounding is Excessive

The Brush cannot remove burrs without rounding edges to some extent.
You can reduce excessive rounding by making the following adjustments.

▮ Increase the Feed Rate
Increase the feed rate in 1,000 mm/min increments while making sure that burrs are removed.
It is also possible to reduce the cycle time by increasing the feed rate.

▮ Reduce the Rotational Speed
Reduce the rotational speed in 10 - 20 % increments while making sure that burrs are removed.

▮ Select a Different Brush Color (Grinding Power)
Effectiveness for reducing excessive edge rounding: A13 (Pink) > A11 (Red) > A21 (White) > A32 (Blue)
It may be possible to reduce excessive edge rounding by selecting a different Brush color.

To Improve the Surface Finish

It may be possible to improve surface finish by making following adjustments.

▮ Select a Different Brush Color (Grinding Power)
Surface finish: A13 (Pink) > A11 (Red) > A21 (White) > A32 (Blue)
Select the appropriate Brush color based on the workpiece material and desired surface roughness.

To Improve Surface Roughness

It may be possible to improve surface finish by making following adjustments.

▮ Select a Different Brush Color (Grinding Power)
Achievable surface roughness: A13 (Pink) > A11 (Red) > A21 (White) > A32 (Blue)
Select the appropriate Brush color based on the workpiece material and desired surface roughness.

▮ Wet Machining
The Brush can be used with or without cutting coolant (oil-based and water-soluble), and using coolant may improve surface roughness.

- Increase the Number of Passes
For the same cycle time, increasing the number of passes is more effective than decreasing the feed rate for improving surface roughness.

To Extend Tool Life

Try making adjustments listed below if the tool life is short even if the burr thickness is below 0.2 mm.

▮ Increase the Feed Rate
Increase the feed rate in 1,000 mm/min increments while making sure that burrs are removed.

▮ Reduce the Rotational Speed
Reduce the rotational speed in 10 - 20 % increments while making sure that burrs are removed.
