Starting cutting values for FZSDN2004

Calculated for a Ø20 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

  • Square end mill; used for side milling, slotting and square shoulders. The cutting corner is sharp, so stress concentrates there and edge chipping usually starts at the corner.
  • At 20 mm spindle power and torque start to be the limit. Required power should be calculated before programming, otherwise the machine reduces feed on its own and chip thickness drops below target.
  • Length of cut to diameter ratio 1.9; the most rigid configuration in this series. Axial engagement can be increased comfortably.
  • 4 flutes. Table feed is directly proportional to flute count (vf = n x fz x z); when flute count changes, feed per tooth is held constant and table feed is recalculated.

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.
