The above recommended cutting conditions are meant as a guide. Actual conditions will depend on the individual machine, work shape and clamping. They will need to be adjusted according to machine rigidity, work clamp rigidity, cutting depth and other factors. For groove milling, reduce the feed rate approximately 70% of the corresponding value shown above.
