Right out of Bill's calculator, copied from Sandvik technical help:

F = finish requirement represented as non decimal integer i.e. 32 or 63.
R = tool nose radius.

SQR((F*(8*R))/(10(sixth))

So, with the tooling & inserts & feeds he said he's using
what's the best surface finish he can expect (no wipers)
if making only one finish pass? Did he mention how much
stock he had left for a finish pass (DOC)?

Next question: What if he makes multiple finishing cuts
at the same Z? What if he steps them over?
