Note 2) When using the G1-breaker wiht coated grades VP15TF, MP6120 or MP9120, reduce the feed rate by 20%. Note 3) For more information on "No.", please refer to page L201 for cutting speed. y For Ramping L 3° a When machining steel the recommended ramping angle is 3°. If a ramping angle larger than 3° is used, then the chips may not be broken effectively resulting in chips wrapping around the tool. a When ramping, it is recommended to reduce the feed rate by 40%.
