Calculation formulas for turning

Cutting speed When calculating cutting speed from number of revolutions:

External π × øD × n V : Cutting speed (m/min)

V = c

turning c n : Number of revolution (min-1)

n 1000 øD : Diameter of workpiece (mm) π 5 3.14 Example : Calculating the cutting

When calculating required number Internal speed when turning a ø150 mmof revolutions from cutting speed:

turning V × diameter workpiece at 250 min-1
