Note 2) When placing emphasis on surface finish quality, wet cutting is recommended. (tool life is lowered as compared to dry cutting) Note 3) The recommended depth of cut differs according to insert geometry. Note 4) When clamp rigidity is low and tool overhang is long, we recommended to reduce the cutting speed and the feed rate by 30%. L042 Note 5) Recommended wet cutting for good surface finishing of stainless steel. (Tool life is short compared to wet cutting.) INDEXABLE MILLING
