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”.
