In the past, we had to manually adjust the cutting force coefficient for non-90 degree lead angle indexable face mills, especially high feed mills. This was due to the cutting force changing direction. This impacted the depth of cut limits, not the stable speeds which were correct. We created new ma...
We have added a TROCHOIDAL milling selection under SETUP. This is for high axial and low radial (10% or less) engagement applications. We have created a new algorithm for these types of tool paths.The resulting Dashboard is limited to a 10% width of cut. Greater than 10%, use the conventional MILLIN...
You can now lock the depth of cut or width of cut so you can easily adjust the opposite with the milling tool image gage.
You can now set the maximum recommended width of cut as a percentage. In Current Conditions, enter the maximum recommended width of cut as a percentage.The resulting Dashboard will turn yellow if the maximum recommended width of cut is exceeded:
Under Setup and Material Details, you can set an a maximum recommended SFM (or SMM).In the Dashboard the RPM will turn yellow when the maximum recommended SFM is exceeded without having to do the calculations or conversions.
