Insert feedrate and depth of cut.
Insert feedrate and depth of cut.
(OP)
Just a general past experiences question. I know this has many variables but when machining, If the ISCAR book gives a range for feedrate and depth of cut for an insert, what percentage of that range would you use when roughing. Mostly turning, but milling answers are very helpful too!
Ex. CNMG 431-GN
f= .006- .017 (75% of range would be .01425)

Saber- I never had plans of going outside of the recomendations, I just wasnt sure when reading the recommendations, which side of the spectrum to work to, the higher or the lower of it.
Thanks

Cutting tool salesmen are not like used car salesmen.
They will help you get the most out of what you're buying, even if you're not buying a lot, because you'll buy more when you sell more.
They may recommend different grades of inserts that will allow even higher production rates.
Don't hesitate to call them for help.

So, if you use the max speeds and feeds you can expect a certain tool life.
Read the catalogue and try to find that figure.
That being said, I always go Full Depth and Play with the feed until I'm happy.

Did have a few accidents when experimenting with some cuts at the limits as recommended by the insert rep.
I will also backup what was said about tooling reps, most of them do know what they are doing.
What's the difference between a car salesman and a computer salesman?
The car salesman knows when he's lying.
