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:

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:
