First of all, we should understand our machine specifications:

  • We will use a Haas VF-1
  • The maximum cutting power is around 22.4 kW
  • Its maximum rated spindle speed is 8,100 RPM
  • The maximum torque is obtained at 2,000 RPM with a value of 122 Nm

These values will be needed to check...
