Note:

  • surface speed is dependent on machine spindle & fixturing*
  • balancing is recommended at ultra high surface speeds
  • tool life may be reduced when machining Lithium Alloys
  • rpm = sfm x 3.82 / D1
  • ipm = (inch / flute) x number of flutes x rpm
  • maximum recommended depths shown Tool Wizard
  • reduce speed and feed for materials harder than listed
  • finish cuts typically require reduced feed and cutting depths of 0.02 x D1 maximum
  • ramp angle = 6˚ (feed rate = 30%)
  • maximum ramp depth = .25 x D CALCULATE APPLICATION PARAMETERS

  • plunging not recommended
