The application was a 4 Flute Carbide Endmill mounted in an ER32 CAT40 collet chuck. The assembly was running in a live tool attachment on the turret of a Mazak Multiplex 6300Y. The live tool had a 4000 max RPM with unknown horsepower or torque. Full width cut at 0.300” depth of cut. Feed rate was 0.002 IPT at 1019 RPM. The current tool was a Kennametal HARVI HPHV750S4150. 

We increased the speed to 1400 RPM and doubled the feed rate to 0.004 IPT.
