Milling Speed and Feed Calculator

Milling is the most common form of machining in which material is removed by feeding a workpiece into a rotating cutting tool with sharp teeth, such as an end mill or face mill. The motion of the cut is specified through several parameters, beginning with the cutting feed and cutting speed, which are selected based upon the specific cutting operation, workpiece material, tool material, and other cutting parameters. The speed and feed calculator can be used to determine the spindle speed (RPM) and feed rate (IPM) for the specified cutting conditions, as well as the cut time for a given cut length.
