■ Milling Calculation Formulas ● Calculating Cutting Speed
π × DC × n DC
Cutter
Work
material
vc=
1,000 vc : Cutting speed (m/min)
n
1,000 × vc π : ≈ 3.14 vf
n=
π × DC DC : Cutter diameter (mm) n
● Calculating Feed Rate n : Rotational speed (min-1)
vf : Feed rate per minute (mm/min)
ap


vf =fz × z × n
fz : Feed rate per tooth (mm/t)
vf z : Number of teeth
fz =
z×n fz
vf
