Selecting the Correct Cutting Values
1. fz depends on the Ap1 and ae values
With round inserts, two factors can affect the hm: Ap1 and ae.
fz has to be adjusted accordingly.
Recommended Starting Feed Rate Values (fz) Related to the Ap1 and ae Values:

Ap1 = 1mm 1,52mm 1,07mm 0,88mm 0,76mm 0,68mm 0,48mm
Ap1 = 2mm 1,07mm 0,76mm 0,62mm 0,54mm 0,48mm 0,34mm
Ap1 = 3mm 0,88mm 0,62mm 0,51mm 0,44mm 0,39mm 0,28mm

2. Ap1 and vc corrections depend on L/D ratio
With increasing L/D ratios, or overhang, vibrations can occur due to reduced
rigidity. To ensure successful application, it is recommended to adjust Ap1
and vc values according to the following table:
