Calculating power requirement

Because practical power requirements depend on the type of mill (proportional to the true rake angle) and the motor efficiency of the machine used, the result calculated from the above formula should be considered as a rough guide. Values of specifi c cutting force (k ) c

Note: In this table, the eff ects of centrifugal force on the rotating balance of the tool and the toolholder, fl ying risk of cutter parts, and limited value of toolholder destruction are not considered. Therefore, when using the tool at high speeds, be sure to observe the specifi ed condition range.
