Default values not applied
Hi, I changed the default values to - cutting speed 100% - Chip load 70% Tool performance 0.75 But, in Speeds and Feeds the values are reset to 100, 100, x1. Bug? Serge

Hello, Please update HSMAdvisor, this has been fixed in the January release. Best regards!

HSMadvisor tells me it is up to date (bottom of screen). Have you seen my suggestion regarding storing max WOC and max DOC in the tool data? Serge

Hi, Well then it is just not doing what you expect it to do :) The default S%,F%,Xn values are only used when you either hit the "Reset" button or choose a different tool type. Yes, i saw your suggestion and believe you can use the Performance slider to adjust the manufacturer-recommended DOC and WOC. Regards.

Hi Eldar, Oh! I understand now :-) Concerning DOC and WOC... it’s not that simple. It isn’t linear. Some mills have a max WOC of 0.1 D, others 0.25 D, then 0.3 D, 0.5 D and 1 D. DOC is often 0.05 D (yes zero.zero zero five), 0.1 D, 0.3 D, 0.5 D, 1 D and 1.5 D. Serge

Can you send me any examples? Calculator is pretty smart in balancing the cut and reducing WOC for multiple-flute endmills. I have not seen any cases where such feature is warranted.
