Cutting Recommendations for the HELIQUAD-12 Complete Line

  • The table below defines initial feed rates
  • For initial cutting speeds, refer to ISCAR’s recommendations for carbide grades Calculating cutting feed rate: ƒz=ƒz0×Kef×Ks where fz0 - Basic feed (Table 1), Kef - Engagement factor ( Table 2), Ks - Stability factor (Table 3) Table 1 - Basic feed, ƒz0, mm/tooth
