Material m/min Example 1: Group min max For Tool = 10mm and ap = 0,2mm for average wall angle 0°, ap/D ratio P3 160 – 180 equal 0,2/10 = 0,02. Factor equal 3.6. P4 140 – 160 Example 2:For Tool = 8mm and ap = 0,1mm for average wall angle 10°, ap/D ratio H1 100 – 140 equal 0,1/8 = 0,0125. Factor will be between 2.7 and 2.4, choose 2.6. H2 70 – 120 Keep in mind shank diameter and length effect. H3 60 – 90 If tool length out of the chuck is more than 2 x D, please decrease feed H4 50 – 70 per tooth by 15% each 1 x D. Application example #1 = Application example #2 = face milling a flat surface face milling a 10º average wall angle D = 10mm D = 8mm ap = 0,2mm ap = 0,1mm Average wall angle = 0° Average wall angle = 10° Finishing H2 Finishing H2 Starting vc from chart = 100 Starting vc from chart = 100 ap/D = 0.02 ap/D = 0,1/8 = 0,0125 Factor from table = Factor from table = 3.6 2.6 vc to programme into machine = 100 * 3.6 = 360 m/min vc to programme into machine = 100 * 2.6 = 260 m/min RPM = 360* 1000/3.14/10 = 11460 RPM RPM = 260* 1000/3.14/10 = 7640 RPM widia.com B51
