1. Check the power and stiffness of the machine to ensure that the required milling cutter diameter can be used on the machine.
2. The overhang of the tool on the spindle is as short as possible to reduce the impact of the milling cutter axis and the position of the workpiece on the impact load.
3. Use the correct milling cutter pitch for the operation to ensure that there are not too many inserts meshing with the workpiece at the same time to cause vibration while cutting, on the other hand, to ensure that there are enough inserts when milling narrow workpieces or milling cavities engage with the workpiece.
4. Make sure to use the feed per insert to get the correct cut when the chips are thick enough to reduce tool wear. Indexable inserts with positive rake geometry for smooth cutting results and minimal power.
5. Choose a cutter diameter suitable for the width of the workpiece.
6. Select the correct main declination angle.
7. Place the milling cutter correctly.
8. Use cutting fluid only when necessary.
9. Follow tool maintenance and repair rules and monitor tool wear.
