Table 7-2.—Surface Cutting Speeds<br />

Use the approximate values in table 7-2 as a guide<br />

when you select the proper cutting speed for<br />

high-speed steel cutters. Refer to the manufacturer’s<br />

recommendations if you are using carbide tooling. If<br />

you find you cannot suitably operate the machine, the<br />

cutter, or the work at the suggested speed, make an<br />

immediate readjustment.<br />

Use table 7-3 to determine the cutter rpm for<br />

cutters varying in diameter from 1/4 inch to 5 inches.<br />

For example: You are cutting with a 7/16-inch cutter.<br />

If a surface speed of 160 fpm is required, the cutter<br />

rpm will be 1,398.<br />

If the cutter diameter you are using is not shown<br />

in table 7-3, determine the proper rpm of the cutter by<br />

using the formula:<br />

where<br />

(a) rpm =<br />

or rpm =<br />

Cutting speeed × 12<br />

3.1416 × Diameter<br />

fpm<br />

0.2618 × D<br />

rpm = revolutions per minute of the cutter<br />

fpm = required surface speed in feet per minute<br />

D = diameter of the cutter in inches<br />

0.2618 = constant =<br />
