For each milling or turning machine, it’s very important to choose the right cutting parameters. A wrong choice results in much faster tool wear and higher costs. How do you choose the right cutting parameters? The parameters we look for most often are n = revolutions – and F = feed.

Too slow cutting speeds lead to edge build-up and blunting, while too fast results in quicker insert wear, deformation and poor finish.

The cutting parameter calculator n will allow you to easily calculate the spindle speed, i.e. the number of revolutions per minute. Enter the tool diameter and cutting speed.

To calculate tool rotations n we need to know the cutting speed Vc, in other words the number of rotations of the cutting blade, given in meters per minute.

The tool feed rate calculator F allows you to calculate the feed rate of one cutting edge. This depends on the number of blades on your tool (Z) and the rate of rotation (n).
