Reduced radial engagement influences the cutting speed, because the heat produced
through the cutting process limits the cutting speed.

TTStatic Trochoidal Milling for a Full Slot
- Use a tool in which D < b.
- Programme circles in the CNC programme (as a cycle).
- After one circle, repeat the same with an offset.
- Optimise by shortening the lane “in the air” to a form like a “D”.
