Power Required by Carbide-Tipped Face-Milling Cutters

Fundamental data on high-speed milling were derived from two research projects conducted in the period 1944–1946, the results of which were made available by this Society in the form of data sheets. However, these individual data sheets have been difficult to use because of their large mass and lack of correlation. The data dealing with the power requirements as influenced by the setup conditions when face-milling with sintered-carbide tools have been organized and are presented in this paper.
