Determining the optimal DOC with turning applications is largely a matter of how much material you can remove per pass without yanking the part out of the chuck, although DOC should never exceed one-half of the insert’s inscribed circle.
On machining centers, DOC values are radial and axial. Radial measures how wide of a cut is being taken. Axial measures how deep the cutter is buried in the workpiece.
Trochoidal and other modern milling strategies generally rely on a light radial DOC and as much axial engagement as the cutting tool, toolholder and machine can handle.
DOC has the least effect on tool life, even though a light DOC means more passes will be needed to finish the roughing operation, which could mean greater insert consumption.
An overly aggressive DOC can lead to chatter, broken tools, or parts flying across the shop. Have you ever run into DOC issues? Anything crazy or humorous ever happen (barring anyone being physically hurt)?
The best way to make sure that a body of water stays healthy and balanced is to figure out its ideal DOC (dissolved oxygen content). This can be done by taking data in the field and doing tests in the lab.
For field readings, portable oxygen meters are used to find out how much oxygen is in a body of water. Lab studies, on the other hand, involve taking samples of water and analyzing them to figure out how much dissolved oxygen is in them. Once the best DOC is found, it can be used to help make choices about water management, such as how to stop pollution, add nutrients, and save water.
