Quick troubleshooting for common faults
Chip wrapping: Increase feed or cutting depth, check if the chip groove matches; EGU is suitable for light to medium cutting, and if the feed rate is too low, ELU or ESU can be used instead.
Flutter: Shorten the handle overhang, adjust the center height, and check the cleanliness of the blade seat; The low resistance design of EGU can suppress vibration, but if vibration still occurs, the cutting depth needs to be reduced or a sharper groove type needs to be used instead.
Broken blade: Check if it exceeds the applicable range of EGU; Can reduce the feed rate or switch to a stronger EMU; If it is intermittent impact, materials with better toughness can be selected.
Poor surface quality: check center height and cooling; EGU has good chip removal under high feed rate. If the surface tears, the cutting speed can be increased or materials such as AC6040M can be used instead.
Short tool life: Check the material and match the workpiece; Stainless steel priority AC6020M/AC6030M, carbon steel priority AC8025P/AC8035P, heat-resistant alloy priority AC5015S.
