Easy Speeds And Feeds

Spindle Speed Calculator

Tool Diameter
inches

Surface Speed / Cutting Speed:
SFM (see table below for SFM values).

To learn what is SFM and how to go from SFM to RPM, click this link.

Spindle Speed:
RPM

Spindle RPM Formula = (12 * SurfaceSpeed) / (PI * CutterDiameter)

Feed Rate Calculator

Feed/Tooth (Chipload):
IPT (inches / tooth)

Number of Flutes (Teeth):

Feed Rate:
IPM (inches / minute)

Feed Rate Formula = Chipload * NumberFlutes * RPM

Milling Chiploads for HSS End Mills

Material

Chipload (IPT)

Aluminum - Wrought (6061) 0.005 - 0.010
Brass 0.005 - 0.010
Cast Iron - Ductile 0.004 - 0.008
Cast Iron - Gray 0.002 - 0.006
Copper Alloy - Wrought 0.004 - 0.008
Magnesium Alloy 0.005 - 0.010
Stainless Steel 0.002 - 0.006
Steel - Mild 0.002 - 0.010
Steel - Hard Alloy 0.002 - 0.006
Steel - Tool 0.002 - 0.006

Note: Chipload should be adjusted for tool diameter. Smaller tools tolerate much lower chip loads! You can look this up in the manufacturer's catalog, or we can help.
