Feedformula

If you are using the metric system and have the surface speed VVV in meters per second and the diameter DDD in millimeters, the equation is:

All machine tool operations consist of a cutting tool (e.g., a drill bit) and the workpiece that is being machined to make something. So, if you're drilling a hole in a piece of wood, then the wood is the workpiece.

The calculator will produce a recommended range of feed rates. Generally, it would be best if you started at the lower feed rate and slowly increase it from there. For an operation such as milling, the slower the feed rate (and cutting speed), the smoother the finish on the workpiece will be.

With the calculator mode set to manual mode, you need to enter the minimum and maximum surface speeds and chip loads. The specification sheet for the tool you are using may contain this data. Here's what you should do:

Speeds and Feedschart

Let's go through an example of how to calculate speeds and feeds manually, using the speeds and feeds formulas discussed above. Your tool is half an inch in diameter and made of high-speed steel, and you are end-milling a block of aluminum. Looking up the average surface speed between the cutting tool and the aluminum, you find it to be 600 feet/min. Using the imperial speeds formula, you would perform the calculation:

Finally, it supports the turning operation where the cutting tool is stationary, and the workpiece rotates. This configuration is the essential operation of a lathe machine, which is used to create symmetric circular manufactured items.

The "speeds" part of the speeds and feeds calculator is the rotation speed of either the tool (e.g., for drilling) or the workpiece (e.g., for turning on a lathe). For a given tool and workpiece material, there is a range of recommended cutting or surface speeds between the two materials. Given the surface speed, you can calculate the spindle speed in revolutions per minute (RPM) using the following equation (when using imperial units):

You will then see results for the range of speeds you should use. For the best outcome, start at the minimum speed and gradually increase it to the average figure. If you want a quick, but rough finish, carry on up to the maximum speed.

Cutting speedformula

The chip load depends on the characteristics of the tool and the workpiece material. For example, a tool drilling a hole into a soft workpiece material will have a higher chip load than a harder workpiece material.

Analyzing the equation, you might notice that π×D\pi \times Dπ×D is the formula for circumference of a circle. So we're dividing the speed at the circumference by the distance traveled during one rotation to get the number of rotations per minute.

Feed rateformulafor milling

The term "feeds" refers to the feed rate or the relative linear speed between the tool and the workpiece. For example, for drilling, it is the speed at which the drill bit travels down into the workpiece material. The equation for the feed rate is:

Next, enter the number of teeth the tool has to get the range of feed rates to use. The feed rates shown are for the average rotation speed. To calculate the feed rates at a different speed, enter the RPM into the custom rotation speed field. Similar to rotation speed, the slower the feed rate, the smoother the finish of the operation will be.

Omni's speeds and feeds calculator helps you set the correct rotation speed and feed rate of your machine tool. It supports all of the following machine tool operations:

Spindle speedformula

In manual mode, you can set the cutting speed (usually in surface feet per minute – sfm), and it will output the rotation speed in rotations per minute (rpm), therefore converting sfm to rpm. You can also set custom chip loads to calculate the feed rates. Let's look at each mode in detail next.

In preset mode, you can select the operation, tool material, size and number of teeth, and the workpiece material. The calculator contains a range of recommended cutting speeds for different materials, allowing it to calculate the rotation speeds. It also has the corresponding chip load data to calculate the feed rates.

Ideally, you would also calculate the minimum and maximum speeds and feeds, so let's see how our calculator can work out everything for you in super-quick time.

Next, let's calculate the average feed rate at 4584 RPM4584\ \mathrm{RPM}4584 RPM, given that your tool has two teeth, and it has an average chip load when milling aluminum, which is 0.0040.0040.004 inches:

So it's a reamer speed and feeds, milling speeds and feeds, and drill feeds and speeds calculator (plus more) all rolled into one.

Use the preset mode to select from a range of tool and workpiece materials. Use custom mode if you know the surface speeds and chip loads.

If you are not sure how many teeth your tool has, look at it end-on and count how many sharp cutting edges there are around the circumference of the tool.
