Recommendations are computed starting points based on typical conditions — not guarantees of performance, tool life, or fitness for your application. Machining involves inherent risk: you are solely responsible for safe operation, for verifying every parameter against your machine, spindle, toolholding, workholding, and guarding limits, and for proving all parameters on a test cut before production. RobbJack Corporation assumes no liability for tool breakage, machine damage, scrapped parts, production loss, or personal injury arising from use of these recommendations.
