Calculating Spindle

RPM

Closely follow the proper cutting speed and prop- er feed to reduce undue strain on all moving parts and increase operator safety.

Prior to milling, determine the RPM needed to cut your workpiece, then set the RPM on the machine.

To determine the needed RPM:

1.Use the table in Figure 19 to determine the cutting speed required for the material of your workpiece.

2.Measure the diameter of your cutting tool in inches.

3.Use the following formula to determine the needed RPM for your operation:

(Cutting Speed x 4) /Tool Diameter = RPM
