Starting cutting values for WDN0504

Calculated for a Ø5 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.
  • 5 mm is the most common range in mould detail work. In deep slots the limit is chip evacuation; if chips are recut, the cutting edge is lost within one revolution.
  • Length of cut to diameter ratio 2.6; standard configuration. At full engagement deflection becomes measurable and an allowance should be left on the side wall.

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.
