Maximum Depth of Cuts

I've been looking to see how to calculate the "depth of cut" for aluminum based on tool size, but have found that there are no formulas for this that can be found on the 'net. (Some online groups have said they simply don't exist.) As a result, I'm left wondering what a good starting point would be for the actual DOC.

For example, if I use a 1/2" 4 flute square end mill, is 0.200" DOC too small or too large of a cut?

Any help or pointers towards help would be appreciated.
