Carbon steel Increase the feed rate to fz=0.1 ~ 0.15 (mm/t) for preventing long chips at low feed rates. Chip control is good when setting (Vc=80m/min) for MEF11~MEF25, and (Vc=120m/min) for MEF26~MEF48. Toolholder description Vc(m/min) fz(mm/t) MEF11~MEF25 80 0.1~0.15 MEF26~MEF48 120 0.1~0.15 2. Sticky materials Step feed is recommended for good chip control Increase the feed rate to fz=0.1 ~ 0.15 (mm/t) for preventing long chips at low feed rate (fz=0.05mm/t). Use cover to prevent accidents or injury by thick chips at higher feed rates. Toolholder description Vc(m/min) fz(mm/t) Step feed (mm) MEF11~MEF48 80~150 0.1~0.15 0.5~1.5 M 3. Stainless steel Use a lower cutting speed. high cutting speeds cause chattering. Cutting performance when shouldering Description Cutting range Milling MEF bolt countersink end mill is also recommended of shouldering. ~ MEF11-S12 ap (mm) ae Vc=80~120m/min MEF14-S12 S55C MEF17-S16 MEF18-S16 Dry ap Overhang length: DCX/6 DCX/3 DCX/2 Cutting width: ae(mm) Same as LH in the dimension table MEF20-S16 MEF22-S20 ap (mm) • When shouldering, both side edge and bottom edges function. ~ • Both edges wear at the same time depending on ap.
