Note: maximum recommended depths shown

  • surface speed is dependent on machine spindle & fixturing*
  • reduce speed and feed for materials harder than listed
  • balancing is recommended at ultra high surface speeds
  • ramp angle = 15˚ (feed rate = 30%)
  • tool life may be reduced when machining Lithium Alloys
  • maximum ramp depth = 1 x D

1

  • rpm = sfm x 3.82 / D
  • plunge depth = 1 x D (feed rate = 30%)

1 1

  • ipm = (inch / flute) x number of flutes x rpm
