Selecting the Correct Cutting Values

1. fz depends on the Ap1 and ae values

With round inserts, two factors can affect the hm: Ap1 and ae. fz has to be adjusted accordingly.

Recommended Starting Feed Rate Values (fz) Related to the Ap1 and ae Values:

ae engagement10%20%30%40%50%100%
Ap1 = 0,5mm0,59mm0,42mm0,34mm0,30mm0,26mm0,19mm
Ap1 = 0,75mm0,50mm0,36mm0,29mm0,25mm0,22mm0,16mm

2. Ap1 and vc corrections depend on L/D ratio

With increasing L/D ratios, or overhang, vibrations can occur due to reduced rigidity. To ensure successful application, it is recommended to adjust Ap1 and vc values according to the following table:
