Re: Milling Machine Question

Excess chip loading:
1) number of teeth engaged with the cut to large.
2) volume of metal per chip too large (excess depth per pass & feed per tooth)
3) strength of metal per # of simultaneous flutes cutting to great.
4) diameter of cutter too large for spindle motor torque
5) cutter teeth too dull or damaged
6) profile of cutter giving too much linear contact with teeth

Other:
7) if a variable speed spindle motor, running at too low of an RPM
