Built-up edge (BUE)
BUE (A) and edge
frittering (B) often
occur in combina-

BUE is then ripped
away together with
small amounts of in-
sert material, which
causes frittering.

• Unsuitable grade
• Cutting edge temperature too low
• Increase cutting speed
• Choose a grade with good tough-
ness
• Turn to correct diameter before
threading operation (0.03 – 0.07
mm, .001 – .003 inch) radially larger
than max. diameter for thread
• Increase number of infeeds. Reduce
size of the largest infeeds
