CuTTING FEED
Cutting Feed is the distance the cutting tool or workpiece
advances during one revolution of the spindle, typically measured
in millimeters per revolution. You can calculate Cutting Feed given
values for Feed per Tooth (Chip Load) and Number of Teeth. If
these values are unknown, you can calculate Cutting Feed with
Feed Rate and RPM (Spindle Speed).
Cutting Feed – Based on Feed per Tooth and # of Teeth
Calculate Cutting Feed with a Feed per Tooth (Chip Load) of
0.125 millimeters and 4 Teeth:
