【Points of machining】

To make the deflection amount minimize at slit profile as much as possible, we applied the following method:

１．In order to make a "guide" to prevent the tool from deflection, the feed rate and depth of cut are reduced up to a position of -0.05 mm from the top surface of the slit.

２．The area below the “guide” is machined with normal cutting conditions.

３．The effect of making the guide suppresses tool deflection, and was able to machine highly accurate slit profile with little deflection error.
