General cutting conditions for turning
In order to obtain stable and repeatable machining conditions, it is advisable to select the parameters depth of cut (ap) and feed per revolution (f ) within a range commonly referred to as the chip control zone. This zone is regularly truncated by a maximum cutting section (A D max) which must not be exceeded (figure
