Operation tip

Start with 50–70% of the recommended feed rate and increase progressively. Monitor noise, vibration and bit temperature.

Why does RPM matter?

RPM too high burns the bit and the material. Too low causes excessive vibration and uneven cutting. The ideal value depends on the bit diameter and material hardness.

What is chipLoad?

It is the chip thickness per flute per revolution. A correct chipLoad prevents the bit from rubbing the material without cutting, increasing tool life and cut quality.

Values calculated based on empirical parameters. Adjust according to the bit manufacturer's specifications, spindle power and machine rigidity.
