| Choose the coefficient according to the ap/D and average wall angle. | Material | | m/min |
| Example 1: | Group | min | max |
| For Tool = 10mm and ap = 0,2mm for average wall angle 0°, ap/D ratio | P3 | 160 | – 180 |
| equal 0,2/10 = 0,02. Factor equal 3.6. | P4 | 140 | – 160 |
| Example 2: For Tool = 8mm and ap = 0,1mm for average wall angle 10°, ap/D ratio | H1 | 100 | – 140 |
| equal 0,1/8 = 0,0125. Factor will be between 2.7 and 2.4, choose 2.6. | H2 | 70 | – 120 |
| Keep in mind shank diameter and length effect. | H3 | 60 | – 90 |
| If tool length out of the chuck is more than 2 x D please decrease feed | H4 | 50 | – 70 |
per tooth by 15% each 1 x D.
