  • Milling Calculation Formulas

Calculating Cutting Speed

π × DC × n Work DC

v =Cuttermaterial
c1,000
v : Cutting speed (m/min)
c

1,000 × v π : ≈ 3.14 n v

n = c f

π × DC DC : Cutter diameter (mm) n

  • Calculating Feed Rate n : Rotational speed (min-1)

v : Feed rate per minute (mm/min)

v =f × z × n f

f z f : Feed rate per tooth (mm/t)

z v z : Number of teeth f = f z z × n

vf fz
