Starting cutting values for WKN0802
Calculated for a Ø8 mm cutting diameter and 4 flutes. Radial engagement is taken as ae = 0.5×D and axial depth of cut as ap = 1×D. Values assume a carbide tool and medium duty conditions; machine rigidity and workholding change the result. These are calculated reference values. They change considerably with the machine, tool holder, clamping and the result you need; applying them remains the responsibility of the user.

About this size
- Ball nose end mill; used for three dimensional surface finishing and curved mould surfaces. At shallow axial engagement the effective diameter is smaller than the nominal diameter, so cutting speed must be calculated from the effective diameter.
- 8 mm is the general purpose range. Spindle power is rarely the limit; the limit is usually the rigidity of the clamping and the holder.
- Length of cut to diameter ratio 2; the most rigid configuration in this series. Axial engagement can be increased comfortably.
These notes are derived from the geometry and ratios of this size and are general in nature. Machine, holder, clamping and coolant conditions change the outcome considerably.
