Adjust the cutting speed and the feed rate within the above conditions according to the actual machining situation. * Recommended feed rate in the table is the reference value when ap is RE/2. (2 mm for RD**08/2.5 mm for RP**10/3mm for RP**12/4 mm for RP**16) For other ap, calculate the recommended feed rate based on the conversion factor below. * For MRX16-S16-08-2T(-160), MRX16-W-08-2T, MRX20-S20-10-2T(-180) and MRX20-W20-10-2T, set the feed rate not higher than 50% of the recommended cutting conditions.
