• Aim for a Radial Depth of Cut (RDOC) of 3%-5% of the tool diameter, regardless of the number of flutes.
• Quick Troubleshooting:
  • If experiencing poor surface finish, check if the RDOC is too light, lower the Inches Per Minute (IPM), increase the Revolutions Per Minute (RPM), and ensure tool runout is within .0005 TIR.
  • To address tool life issues, minimize spring passes to prevent tool rubbing and material work hardening.

• NXG-2 and NXG-3: 5-10°
• NXG-4: 1-10°
• NXG-5: 1-8°
• NXG-6: 1-5°
• NXG-7: 1-3° (use caution)
• Note: Lower angles may lead to chip thinning, allowing for higher feed adjustments.

• NXG-2 and NXG-3: up to 2.00xD
• NXG-4: up to 1.50xD
• NXG-5: up to 0.50xD
• NXG-6: up to 0.25xD
• NXG-7: Not Recommended
• Slotting Tips:
  • Follow the provided chart.
  • Use chip-breaker tools for effective chip evacuation.
  • Ensure good coolant flush in the direction of the tool's chip throw.
  • If operating below the listed ranges, consider increasing feed adjustments.

• Traditional HEM:
  • NXG-2, NXG-3, NXG-4: RDOC 5% to 50%xD, ADOC up to 1.00xD
  • NXG-5: RDOC 5% to 40%xD, ADOC up to 1.50xD
  • NXG-6: RDOC 5% to 30%xD, ADOC up to 1.75xD
  • NXG-7: RDOC 5% to 10%xD, ADOC up to 2.00xD
• Heavy Profiling:
  • NXG-3: RDOC 8% to 40%xD, ADOC up to 3.00xD
  • NXG-5: RDOC 8% to 30%xD, ADOC up to 3.50xD
  • NXG-6: RDOC 8% to 20%xD, ADOC up to 3.75xD
  • NXG-7: RDOC 7% to 10%xD, ADOC up to 4.00xD
