5.4 Table cutting speeds
Reference values for cutting speeds v
c
in m/min when turning high speed steel and hard metal. (Excerpt from VDF 8799, Gebr. Boehringer GmbH, Göppingen)
1) The entered values apply for a chipping depth of up to 2.24 mm. From 2.24 mm to 7.1 mm the values must be reduced by 1 stage of the row R10 by approximately 20%. From 7.1 mm to 22.4
mm the values must be reduced by 1 stage of the row R5 by approximately 40%.
2) The values v
c
must be reduced by 30 .... to 50% for turning a crust, for removal of cast skin or for sand inclusions.
3) The service life t for hard metal P10, K10, K20 = 240 min; for high speed steel SS = 60 min.
