max. depth of cut for small diameters
I can adjust DOC and WOC in a certain range, but using very small tool diameters e.g. 0.5mm with 4mm length (12mm stickout due to the conical shape) in C18200 the numbers are incredibly small. E.g. a DOC of 0.5mm leads to 2% WOC, a DOC of just 0.1mm only to a WOC of 10%. I haven't practiced it yet, but it seems to be too pessimistic?
If I enable the slotting checkbox, the DOC field remains editable and I would assume that the F&S changes according to the DOC, but it seems to reduce to a certain fixed amount and doesn't react on changes. Apparently this happens when the tool is considered overloaded. I think that it should issue a warning about tool overload or set the feed to 0 as an indicator instead of some random low number?
My material should be rather C18000, not C18200. Any chance to get parameters for that? I think it is even harder than C18200 and the DOC would drop to zero, so maybe (I hope) there is an error for small diameter calculations?

Hello,
It's hard to follow what exact setup you are having.
Can you attach a screenshot so i don't have to guess?
You can just paste directly from the snippet tool into the text box here.
