How to Calculate CNC Router Feed RatesThe chip load is the measurement of the thickness of material removed by each cutting edge during a cut. This is a valuable piece of information that can then be used to calculate new set ups.Chip loads are based on material thickness of average size for cutting edge length of the tool. The calculation below does not apply to thicker material or tools with a long cutting-edge length. These feed rates are only a recommended starting point and do not accommodate all circumstances. Therefore, tooling damage may still occur and use of the calculator does not provide any warranty for tool breakage.

Here is the Harvard-style citation to use if you would like to reference this definition of the term corner radius:Label Planet (2020) What does corner radius mean? | Corner Radius Definition. Available at: https://www.labelplanet.co.uk/glossary/corner-radius/ (Accessed: January 1, 2024).

The corner radius describes how rounded the corners of a label are in shape. The die used to produce radius corners are shaped to produce a particular degree of arc or curve at each corner of a shape such as a rectangle or square; the corner radius refers to the radius of the circle that is created if the corner arc is extended to form a complete circle. A larger corner radius produces a more rounded corner, while a small corner radius produces a sharper corner that is closer in shape to the point of a square cut corner label (where the corner is the sharp point that is the natural result of two lines meeting at a 90° angle).

The Calculation:Spindle Speed x Number of Flutes x Chipload (High/Low) = Feed RateThe Calculations are based on depth of cut being 1xD for a standard length tool. For 2xD reduce the chipload by 25% and for 3xD reduce the chipload by 50%.RPM SelectionThe general operating RPM for tooling contained on this site is between 10000 - 20000 revolutions per minute (RPM). These will differ dependent on tool selection due to us putting in some extensive research to see where the tooling best suits. For most materials a good starting point for RPM is between 16000 - 18000. There are a number of different scenarios where this will change (Composite Materials, Honeycomb, Soft Plastic to name a few).
