Regardless of type, manufacturer, or age, the spindle in your machine tool has a limited amount of power and torque. The graphs that define those characteristics are all too often misunderstood or ignored. Although it is not necessary to evaluate the power and torque of every tool in your machining process, a closer consideration of roughing operations does offer productivity-boosting opportunities. Using a planned approach that matches speed, feed, and tool engagement with the available power can allow operations to take full advantage of the machine's capability while avoiding potentially costly overloads.
