Estimate chip thinning factor and effective chip load for small radial engagement in milling, and get a suggested programmed chip load.
Note: this approximation is most useful for small radial engagements (for example ae < 40% of the tool diameter) in high-efficiency or trochoidal milling. Always verify against toolmaker data and machine limits.
