Power Check
Note: Material removal rate must not exceed available machine power. Excessive force causes tool damage and poor surface finish.
Reference
MRR = Depth x Width x Feed Speed (in^3/min)
Specific Energy: Grinding ~8 HP/(in^3/min), Milling ~1.5, Belt ~5
Power Required = MRR x Specific Energy
Reduce parameters if power insufficient
