4.16.2 Types of cutting form levels
They are needed to influence the chip drain and the chip shape in order to achieve optimum
chipping conditions.
Examples of types of cutting form levels

Img.4-19: Cutting form level
b = 1.0 mm to 2.2 mm
t = 0.4 mm to 0.5 mm
For infeeds of 0.05 to 0.5 mm per revolution and depths of cut of 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm.
The different apex angles ( ) of the cutting form level need to conduct the chip.

The ready-ground major cutting edge must be slightly ground with a grindstone for the plan-
ing.
For the roughing, a small chamfer must be produced with the grindstone in order to stabilize
the cutting edge against striking chips (b
