Choose the coefficient according to the ap/D and average wall angle.Materialm/min
Example 1:Groupminmax
For Tool = 10mm and ap = 0,2mm for average wall angle 0°, ap/D ratioP3160– 180
equal 0,2/10 = 0,02. Factor equal 3.6.P4140– 160
Example 2: For Tool = 8mm and ap = 0,1mm for average wall angle 10°, ap/D ratioH1100– 140
equal 0,1/8 = 0,0125. Factor will be between 2.7 and 2.4, choose 2.6.H270– 120
Keep in mind shank diameter and length effect.H360– 90
If tool length out of the chuck is more than 2 x D please decrease feedH450– 70

per tooth by 15% each 1 x D.
