• Remove excessive chips with an air blast to prevent chip jamming.
• Use water-soluble coolant to avoid built-up edge in case extreme welding occurs on cutting edges. (ex. aluminium machining).
• For operations with a varied depth of cut (ex. casting skin) and machining of workpiece materials with interrupted surface, the feed (fz) should be set to the lower recommended value shown in the above table.
• Cutting conditions may be limited depending on machine power, workpiece rigidity,and spindle output. When the cutting width, depth or overhang length is large,
  set Vc and fz to the lower recommended values and check the machine power and vibration.
