Engraving Tips of Breaking Edge Phenomenon

In the process of stone relief carving, the most common way to damage the cutter is through the use of "breaking edge".

 

The so-called "breaking edge" refers to the tool being vertically plunged along the Z coordinate direction, or nearly vertically plunged. At this point, it is difficult to supply cooling water for the ball-end cutting tools, and the cutting head will generate intense heat due to high-speed drilling down, resulting in burning or chipping of the cutting tip.

 

There are three main ways to avoid  "breaking edge":

1. Optimize the design of the running path or modify the relief diagram, to add soft transitions to reduce the "broken" path.

 

2. Reduce the "Z-axis maximum speed" (Note: the parameter controlling the Z-coordinate speed component during the embossing process is the "Z-axis maximum speed" in the manufacturer's parameters, rather than the "use Z downward cutting speed" in the processing parameters).

 

3. Identify several areas or vector boxes with severe "breaking tool" phenomenon, and cut them along the contour layer by layer to a certain depth, to reduce the load of the "breaking edge".
