Where does the chip load value come from? Is 2-4 though a standard? I was always missing this value when I tried to use the formulas. That was one point of confusion.
And it turns out that my max RPM is 2300. I adjusted accordingly. |
I think of it more as a constant than a standard. Pushing a cutter beyond that envelope is flirting with trouble. It can become an issue of poor precision, wasting a cutter, which can waste a part.
There is a relationship between the Machine, the cutter, the part and the work holding. Each one has its limits. There is forever a need to realize that balance before something starts to suffer.........
