Note 1) When the inclination angle of machined surface is high, or when machining at high loads; such as in corners, reduce the revolution and feed rate. Note 2) The use of oil mist is recommended when machining with small diameter. Note 3) The revolution and feed rate can be increased at small depths of cut (ap). Note 4) Cutting conditions may differ considerably due to the overhang, depth of cut and machine tool condition. Please use the table above as a reference starting point. Note 5) For hardened steel over 55 HRC, use VF2XLB. Note 6) For cutting conditions for austenitic stainless steel and titanium alloy, use the high hardness steel (45-55 HRC) table but reduce the spindle speed by 40% and the feed rate by 55%.
