Materials will run better at specific SFMs. SFM is a constant, with RPM as a variable based upon cut diameter.  When the SFM constant is known for a specific material, the formulas below can be used to determine spindle speed:

Cobalt – Cobalt bits are a special formulation of high speed steel with cobalt added in to withstand very high drilling temperatures. Cobalt bits are specifically designed for drilling very hard, abrasive materials such as treated stainless steel, titanium and cast iron. Cobalt bits are not designed for general purpose use.  Vermont American cobalt drill bits feature the following: (1) grip tight shank for positive chuck hold, (2) cobalt withstands high drilling heat for longer bit life and includes thick web for increased durability and (3) 135 degree split point starts fast and reduces drill walking.  Click here to see available sizes.

For example, if two round pieces of different sizes are turning at the same revolutions per minute, the larger piece will have a greater surface speed because it has a larger circumference and has more surface area. As the tool gets further into a workpiece, the same spindle speed will produce a decreasing surface speed. This is because each revolution represents a smaller circumferential distance, but takes the same amount of time.

Cutting speed vsfeed rate

Titanium – High speed steel bits which have been coated with titanium nitride. This special coating gives the bits a very high surface hardness to help penetrate tough materials, makes the bits highly corrosion resistant and significantly reduces friction between bit and workpiece. Titanium coated bits last up to 6X longer than standard high speed steel bits.  Vermont American titanium drill bits feature the following:  (1) grip tight shank for positive chuck hold, (2) titanium coating hardens bit surface or improved durability in tough, repetitive applications and acts as lubricant, requiring less torque and less heat build-up for longer bit life, (3) speed helix augers dust away from tip more quickly, reducing heat for long life and (4) 135 degree split point starts fast and reduces drill walking.  Click here to see available sizes.

Feed rateformula

Feed rate is the velocity at which the cutter is advanced along the work-piece. Feed rate is expressed as units of distance (inch) per minute or per single revolution.

CNC machining is the backbone of many manufacturers’ processes. Unfortunately, they are also a major cost center and can be a bottleneck when it comes to getting the product quickly through the plant. Far too often we find that a company has invested in quality inserts and tooling, but is not running them at the proper feeds and speeds.

Cutting speed is the speed that the material moves past the cutting edge of the tool. Cut speed can be defined as revolutions per minute (RPM) or as surface feet per minute (SFM).

135° Split Point – Starts on contact in metal, wood and plastic. Eliminates “walking” or “skating” when drilling into metal. 135° Split Point on all bits above 1/8″.

Surface Feet Per Minute (SFM) is a combination of the cut diameter and RPM. The faster the spindle turns, and/or the larger the part diameter, the higher the SFM.

Cutting tool manufacturers publish the general feeds and speeds and recommended usage for the application. That is often a good place to start for recommendations on tool selection and feeds/speeds, but best practice is to work directly with a cutting tool expert at your machine.

At Martin, we pride ourselves on understanding feeds and speeds and optimizing them for our customers. Our Metalworking Team is ready to share their expertise and find custom-tailored solutions that fit your needs.

Most CNC lathes have Constant Surface Speed (CSS) to counteract the natural decrease in surface speed. This speeds up the spindle as the tool moves closer to the turning axis. By utilizing CSS the lathe is adjusting the revolutions per minute to maintain a constant surface speed at every distance from the center.

118° Point – Designed primarily for drilling into wood or plastic. Center punch is required for drilling into metal, otherwise bit will “walk” or “skate”.

Feeds and speeds refer to two separate velocities for machine tools: feed rate and cutting speed. They are often considered as a pair because of their combined effect on the cutting process.

Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) relates directly to the speed, or velocity, of the spindle. It represents the number of turns completed in one minute around a fixed axis. RPM maintains the same revolutions per minute throughout the entire operation.
