■ Milling Calculation Formulas

● Calculating Cutting Speed (Inch)

Work Material

Milling Cutters

SFM = 0.262 × DC × n

v c : Cutting speed (SFM) X : π ≈3.14

n

3.82 × SFM DC

v f

n =

DC : Nominal cutting diameter (inch) n : Rotation speed (min -1 ) (RPM) v f : Feed rate per minute (inch/min) f z : Feed rate per tooth (inch/t)

n

● Calculating Feed Rate (Inch) v f = IPR × n

v f

IPR =

n

v f

f z

● Calculating power requirements 

● Relation between feed rate, work material and specific cutting force
