== The Cut ==
Spindle speeds typically 7k-18k rpm.
Typical feedrate ~200ipm.
 
Calculate feedrate with this formula:
Feedrate = (Chipload) x (Cutter Diameter) x (Number of Flutes) x (Spindle Speed)
 
Better to begin at lowest end of recommended feedrate and increase feed up to:
* the finish deteriorates because of vibration of the cutting tool
* tight radii causes the machine to adjust to a slower speed
* the part moves
