Thus isn't easy to generate.Bend and vibration in the cutting process may occur.l E Length (overhang) increases by 1 time, the deflection degree (f ) will be 8 times of F the former one. f Reduce the overhang by 20 % the deflection degree (f) will decrease by 50 % Increase the diameter by 20 % f= F × l33×E×l= F × l3 × 643×E×l the deflection degree (f) will decrease by 50 % B 473
