For Lighter Radial
Width of Cut-
Higher range of recommended surface speeds should be used. |
For Greater Radial
Width of Cut-
Lower range of recommended surface speeds should be used. |
For Slotting
Applications-
Speeds should be reduced by approximately 20% of lowest range value. |
Axial Depth of Cut-
Recommendations are not to exceed 1-1/2 times the cutter diameter. |
