9 MACHINED SURFACE ROUGHNESS Surface roughness in the radial direction, i.e. during side milling (contour or bottom of a slot milled with a disc milling cutter) is calculated using the following formula: Substitute milling cutter diameter for DC. 1 DC DC 3 3h = 2 ( DC - DC2 - fz2) 4 2 4 2 H H 1 1 h h 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 fz fz fz fz fn fn fn fn 773
