<p>We discussed how to exchange machining data that can be adapted
for the machining conditions of a user. <br>

<span lang="EN-US">Basic formulas are available here:</span>

class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://www.sandvik.coromant.com/en-us/knowledge/machining-formulas-definitions/milling-formulas-definitions</a></span></p>
<p>Such formulas can be included in a standard, but they will be
less rich than the ones already available in the web sites of the
cutting tool vendors.<br>
</p>
<p>However, if a solution must be adjusted because, for example, a
temporary fixture is too weak for the maximum cutting forces, then
the method for making changes must be defined.<br>
</p>
<p>The attached slide illustrates how permitted changes can be
specified using an operation window.<br>
