Typical feed rate ~200-300ipm.
Typical feed rate ~200-300ipm.


Calculate feedrate with this formula:
Calculate feed rate with this formula:
Feedrate = (Chip load) x (Number of Flutes) x (Spindle Speed)
(Feed rate) = (Chip load) x (Number of Flutes) x (Spindle Speed)


Match chipload with this formula:
Match chipload with this formula:
(Chip load) = Feedrate / [(Number of Flutes) x (Spindle Speed)]
(Chip load) = (Feed rate) / [(Number of Flutes) x (Spindle Speed)]


Better to begin at lowest end of recommended feedrate and increase feed up to:
Better to begin at lowest end of recommended feed rate and increase feed up to:
* the finish deteriorates because of vibration of the cutting tool
* the finish deteriorates because of vibration of the cutting tool
* tight radii causes the machine to adjust to a slower speed
