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:
Example application
ae engagement 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 100% highlighted.
Ap1 = 0,5mm 0,59mm 0,42mm 0,34mm 0,30mm 0,26mm 0,19mm
Ap1 = 0,75mm 0,50mm 0,36mm 0,29mm 0,25mm 0,22mm 0,16mm
Ap1 = 1mm 0,42mm 0,30mm 0,24mm 0,21mm 0,19mm 0,13mm
Ap1 = 1,5mm 0,34mm 0,24mm 0,20mm 0,17mm 0,15mm 0,11mm
Ap1 = 3,5mm 0,22mm 0,16mm 0,13mm 0,11mm 0,10mm 0,08mm

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:
