Hi,
When selecting a tool, the proposed chip load is twice the amount defined in the 'Custom Speeds and Feeds' for the tool, unless I lower the 'Feed Adjustment' to 50%. Why is that?
Thanks,
Serge

Hello,
I don't see this issue.
Can you attach the screenshots of your tool and cutting data set up?
Best regards.

The 10 mm tool has a chip load of 0.055 mm.
With 100% Feed adjustment:
With 50% Feed adjustment:
So, the question is why HSMAdvisor doubles the value by default?
Thanks,
Serge

Hello,
I got another update.
What happens is you have a very shallow depth of cut on soft material, so HSMAdvisor bumps up the feed rate by 100%
You can verify it by clicking on the DOC label to have is set a default DOC, which would give you the chip load you have entered in the "Manufacturer" table.
This is normal behavior.
Best regards.
