This is necessary to achieve a depth of cut to the middle of the 6H/ISO2 nut tolerance. Please note, however, that this also depends on the radial deflection of the tool (tensile strength of the material, projecting length of the tool). 2 The cutter radius to be programmed is normally included in the tool memory. 3 The feed values in brackets must be used for controllers, which do not calculate the centre point feed themselves.
