Important Formulae for Milling Machining

existing: Dc = ... tool diameter
Speed Feed Rate z = ... no. of effective cutting edges
given: vc = ... cutting speed
v 1000
n= c (RPM) vf = fz z n (mm/min) fz = ... feed rate per tooth
Dc wanted: n = ? speed
vf = ? feed rate

Tips for the Praxis

SYNCHRONE RUN COUNTER RUN
cutting into thick chip cutting into thin chip
temperature through chip causes friction and bruising
temperature through tool
Exceptions:
! If possible synchrone run !
Important for stainless steel Use at casting skins.
machining! Use at older machines
with backlash.

Contact Relation at hm = average cutting width

Rough Machining
If ae < 1/3 Dc higher fz-values can higher productivity
be used for milling! higher tool life

Approximation formula for ae = contact width

smaller than 1/3 of tool diameter:
average cutting width feed rate per tooth

ae Dc
hm = fz fz = hm ae
Dc
synchrone run
Relation da (tool dia. /cutting depth) has to be set
standard roughing conditions: p
ae ~ 70% additionally when using round inserts.

difficult conditions: Feed Rate per Tooth comparable

adjust.angle
ae ~ 30 - 40%
(hard milling, d
heavy machining materials) Dc
