For calculating real cutting speed, use formula: Basic cutting TiAlN or AlTiN speed * Factor Basic Cutting Speed Vc m/min Choose the coefficient according to the ap/D and average wall angle. Material

Group min max

Example 1:

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:

H1 100 140

For Tool = 8mm and ap = 0,1mm for average wall angle 10°, ap/D ratio

equal 0,1/8 = 0,0125. Factor will be between 2.7 and 2.4, choose 2.6.H270120
Keep in mind shank diameter and length effect.H36090
If tool length out of the chuck is more than 2 x D, please decrease feed H45070

per tooth by 15% each 1 x D.
