Recommended cutting data
• When using external coolant supply only, reduce cutting speed by 10%. As a starting value, the middle of the recommended machining range should be used.
• Use internal coolant supply when machining austenitic stainless steel. Then, according to the wear results, conditions can be changed to optimize performance.
• When using more than 5XD drill ratio, reduce cutting parameters by 10%. The data refers to IC908
