Surface footage to rpmconversion chart

Surface footage is a measure of the linear distance that a point on the circumference of a rotating object travels in one minute. It is a common metric used in machining to help determine the cutting speed of a tool as it interacts with a workpiece. Proper calculation of surface footage is crucial for achieving desired machining results and extending the life of cutting tools.

Surface footage to rpmcalculator

Enter the diameter of the workpiece and the RPM (revolutions per minute) into the calculator to determine the surface footage. This calculator helps in determining the linear distance a point on the circumference of a rotating object travels in one minute.

To calculate the surface footage, multiply the diameter of the workpiece by pi, then multiply the result by the RPM, and finally divide by 12 to convert inches to feet.
