4. The feed rates on the placard are expressed in feet per minute. The feed rate graduations available on the indicator may not match the recommended feed rate. An approximate speed may therefore be required. For example, to set a speed rate of 130 feet per minute, the indicator would be set about midway between 100 feet- per-minute and 165 feet-per-minute graduations.
This is usually on specific materials. However , the following proce- determined by observing the chip formation. (See dure will be adequate for break-in of JET -supplied Evaluating Blade Efficiency for more information on blades on lower alloy ferrous materials.
