r/min for the first move against the probe stylus:
Diameters below 24 mm: 800 r/min is used.

Diameters above 127 mm: 150 r/min is used.
First touch – machine feedrate
The feedrate (f) is calculated as follows:
f = 0.16 × r/min f units mm/min (diameter set)
f = 0.12 × r/min f units mm/min (length set)

800 r/min, 4 mm/min (0.16 in/min) feedrate.
