According to the Sub_type selected, The system will present the relevant sketch with its parameters, such as Axial Depth of Cut (As an example, we show here the parameters for a Solid Carbide Chamfering Endmill). The Effective Diameter will be calculated accordingly.

The Chip Load (Maximum chip thickness), is the largest chip that a cutting edge can handle without breaking and still maintain a decent tool-life. In the case of 90° cutters taking a radial depth of more than 50% of the cutter’s diameter, the chip load is exactly the Feed per Tooth. However, when the radial depth gets smaller, and the cutter is not a 90° shape, you can dramatically increase the feed without getting above the allowed Chip Load. The Milling Speed and Feed Calculator automatically calculated the right feed to keep the desired chip load. The calculator works in two stages:
