The Importance of Turning Speed and Feed Calculations
The spindle speed is derived from cutting feeds and speeds, it is one of the ideal cutting conditions for a tool, if the condition is not ideal, the adjustment of spindle speed is necessary, usually reduce in RPM or modify it to a correct value. Some materials can be cut at a wide range of spindle speeds, while cutting speed is critical to some materials like stainless steel, it’s easy to harden under cold working, then resist the tool’s cutting action. When choosing which feed rate to use, the calculation for turning is fairly easy, because it uses single-point cutting tools and all of the cutting work is done at one point. Insufficient feed rate or incorrect spindle speed will cause improper cutting conditions, therefore it’s important to figure out the CNC turning speeds and feeds with our turning spindle speed and feed rate calculator and control it carefully to avoid overheating of the cutter and workpiece.
