Feeds & Speeds Overview

The Feeds & Speeds Table allows the user to enter additional tool data for each tool so that the control can calculate Feeds and Speeds to be used in MDI (Feed and Speed MDI Touch Screen Feature Dialog) or programs. Based on the Tool Diameter and Tool Length as well as other entered tool parameters the Spindle Speed, Rough Feed and Finish Feed can be automatically calculated for each tool. For more information on the Feed and Speed Calculator in MDI see page 55.
