Speeds for Milling Cutters | Smithy - Detroit Machine Tools
For example, the spindle speed for machining a piece of steel at a speed of 35 SFPM with a cutter 2 inches in diameter is calculated as follows: RPM= CSx4 = 35x4 = 140 D 2 2 = 70 RPM. Therefore, the milling machine spindle would be set for as near 70 RPM as possible. Table 8-2 in Appendix A is provided to facilitate spindle speed computations ...
