Recommended cutting data
The figures below are the manufacturers' published ranges, aggregated across the 2 variants listed on this page. The typical column is the median, which is where most shops end up running. Treat the full range as the envelope, not a target — start around 60–70% of it and work up.
| Workpiece material | Cutting speed vc (m/min) | Typical vc | Feed fn (mm/rev) | Depth of cut ap (mm) | Variants with data |
|---|
To turn a cutting speed into a spindle speed for your actual diameter, use the cutting parameters calculator: n = vc × 1000 / (π × D).
Carbide grades available
2 variants of APKT 160512PDER are stocked in these grades: HS5115, HS5130.
