Calculating effective diameter and resulting surface speed It is important to consider the effective When machining inclinations between diameter (Deff) when using light depths 11° and 55°, further modification of vc of cut in order to properly calculate RPM is required. Apply factor “k” from the values. Use the following formula when given formula to calculate the correct machining flat surfaces or inclinations vc (vceff). This corrected value is then α of 10° or less to find the Deff value, Ap1 used to calculate the proper RPM for and then use this for RPM calculations the tool. as opposed to using the overall insert diameter (D1).
