TM Series Usage Guidelines
General Guidelines
  • Speed and Feeds are only general starting points and may vary depending on specific applications
  • Use Climb Milling for better finish and longer tool life
  • Air or mist coolant on materials greater than 40 HRc
  • Good machines, tool holders, and programming methods all help in extending tool life
  • The best way to engage into the material is by helical interpolation or entering from off the part.
    		•
    Additional Notes
  • Facing radial width = 25% of Dia..
  • Facing axial depth = 2% of Dia.
  • Special diameters, lengths, and corner radii are available on a make-to-order basis.
  • Special draft angles (blend angle) or necked shanks for part clearance are available upon request and usually ship within the next business day.
