Recommended Cutting Conditions
Values shown are starting recommendations. Optimize based on machine rigidity, workpiece material, and desired surface finish. Use coolant or MQL for best results.
| Parameter | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting Speed (Vc) | 250 m/min | Adjust ±20% based on material |
| Spindle Speed (n) | 284,815 RPM | Ensure machine can reach speed |
| Feed per Tooth (fz) | 0.005 mm/z | Reduce for better finish |
| Feed Rate (Vf) | 2848 mm/min | 2-flute calculation |
| Axial Depth (ap) — Slotting | 0.279 mm | 1×D max for full slot |
| Axial Depth (ap) — Profiling | 0.838 mm | Up to 3×D for side milling |
| Radial Depth (ae) | 0.14 mm | 0.5×D for roughing |
| Coolant | Emulsion / MQL / Air | Avoid thermal shock |
| Max Overhang | ≤5×D for rigid setup | Use shortest possible toolholder |
Operating Guidelines
- Runout Control: Maintain total indicated runout (TIR) ≤5 μm at the tool tip. Excessive runout causes uneven load distribution and premature failure in micro-endmills.
- Tool Overhang: Minimize overhang to the shortest practical length. For every 1×D increase in overhang, reduce cutting speed by 10%.
- Entry Strategy: Use helical or ramp entry for pocketing operations. Avoid direct plunging into solid material at speeds exceeding 50% of recommended feed rate.
- Chip Evacuation: Ensure adequate coolant flow or air blast to clear chips from the cutting zone. Recutting chips is the primary cause of micro-endmill breakage.
- Workpiece Fixturing: Secure workpieces rigidly. Vibration or chatter will significantly reduce tool life and surface quality.
- Speed Ramp-Up: When testing new parameters, start at 70% of recommended cutting speed and increase incrementally while monitoring tool wear and surface finish.
- Corner Engagement: In internal corners, reduce feed rate by 30-50% to avoid excessive radial engagement and potential tool breakage.
- Inspection: Inspect cutting edges under magnification (>20×) before and after use. Do not use tools with visible chipping or edge damage.
Toolholder Compatibility
For optimal performance with the 0.011" SGM00307, select toolholders that minimize runout and maximize grip force. The following configurations are recommended:
| Toolholder Type | Runout | Grip Force | Best Application | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ER11 Precision Collet | ≤5μm | High | Micro-machining | Use minimum runout collet for diameters <0.3mm |
| ER16 Precision Collet | ≤5μm | High | General micro-milling | Recommended for shank Ø3.175mm (1/8") |
| Shrink Fit Holder | ≤3μm | Very High | High-speed machining | Optimal for spindle speeds >30,000 RPM |
| Hydraulic Chuck | ≤3μm | Very High | Heavy interrupted cuts | Excellent damping for difficult applications |
| Milling Chuck | ≤10μm | Medium | Roughing operations | Not recommended for finishing with micro-endmills |
| Collet Chuck | ≤8μm | Medium | Standard operations | Ensure collet is clean and undamaged |
