Which one do you need?
- Cutting Speed (SFM) Calculator
- Calculate cutting speed in surface feet per minute or meters per minute from tool diameter and spindle RPM, and check it against your material's range.
- Spindle RPM Calculator
- Convert a recommended cutting speed and cutter diameter into spindle RPM, clamp it to your machine's speed range, and see the surface speed you achieve.
- Milling Feed Rate (IPM) Calculator
- Calculate milling table feed in inches or millimeters per minute from chip load, flute count and spindle RPM, with the radial chip thinning correction.
- Chip Load Per Tooth Calculator
- Calculate chip load per tooth from feed rate, RPM and flute count, check radial chip thinning, and see the chip volume each cutting edge removes.
- Material Removal Rate (MRR) Calculator
- Calculate material removal rate in cubic inches or cm³ per minute for milling, turning and drilling, plus the mass removed and the spindle power needed.
- Milling Spindle Power Calculator
- Find the spindle horsepower, kilowatts and torque a milling cut needs from its width, depth, feed and workpiece material, and check it against your machine.
