|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Steel (C45) | 150-250 | 0.15-0.40 | 0.5-3.0 |
| Stainless Steel (304) | 100-180 | 0.12-0.30 | 0.5-2.5 |
| Cast Iron (GG25) | 120-200 | 0.15-0.35 | 0.5-3.0 |
| Alloy Steel (4140) | 120-200 | 0.15-0.35 | 0.5-3.0 |
Note: Values are starting recommendations. Adjust based on machine rigidity, workpiece condition, and coolant application. Use lower values for interrupted cuts or unstable setups.
Operating Guidelines
- Coolant: High-pressure coolant (70+ bar) recommended for stainless steel and deep cavities
- Entry Angle: Maintain 91-95° tool entering angle for optimal chip control
- Nose Radius: Larger radius (0.8mm) improves surface finish but increases radial forces
- Tool Overhang: Minimize overhang to reduce vibration; use damped toolholders for L/D > 4
- Insert Seat: Ensure clean seat and proper clamping torque (3.5-4.5 Nm)
- Edge Preparation: Do not touch cutting edge with bare hands; use proper insert changing tools
