Key Notes
– Use SI units: v
c
in mmin
-1
, f in mm or mm , d in mm , P in kW .
– T ypical v alues: n˜ 0.2 (HSS to ols), n˜ 0.5 (carbide to ols), k
s
v aries (e.g., 2000–
4000 MPa for steel).
– Optimize v
c
, f , and d for to ol life vs. pro ductivit y (economic mac hining).
– A ccoun t for to ol geometry (ra k e angle, clearance angle) in force calculations.
– Co olan ts reduce to ol w ear a nd impro v e surface finish.
– F or milling, consider cutter diameter and n um b er of teeth for accurate f .
