  • When the depth of cut (ae) is closer to the upper limit, please start with a lower limit value of cutting speed (Vc).
  • The items with long slot (2xD or over) and the items with 5 cutting edges or more are not suitable for slotting operation.
  • When using AH750, reducing cutting speed by 20 to 30% is effective for extending tool life.
  • While air blow is recommended, water-soluble coolant will be good for stainless steel, titanium alloy, and heat-resistant alloy.
  • When chattering occurs with low rigid machines or settings, reduce cutting speed and feed at an equal rate.
  • When chattering occurs with long tool overhang, reduce cutting speed and feed by 20 to 40% (Variable/FinishMeister is recommended for such operations). M
  • In slotting of high hardened steel, heat-resistant alloy, and some types of stainless steel, start with ap=0.2xD and increase the value gradually while checking the status of the operation.
  • In shoulder milling of high hardened steel and heat-resistant alloy, the cutting width should be started at ae=0.05xD and increase the value gradually while checking the status of the operation.
  • The items with many cutting edges are good for finishing and high feed machining of small width of cut.
  • VariableMeister is suitable for machining large depth of cut.
  • Low feed in finishing is recommended for good surface roughness.
