Feeds and Speeds

|
|
Compensation for radial chip
thinning, lead angle, depth of cut, v-bits, and ballnosed cutters.
|
"Gas Pedal" slider specifies how conservative or aggressive to make the cut. Emphasize surface finish and tool life or material removal rate. |
Chatter calculator identifies optimal spindle rpm ranges to minimize chatter. |
HSM Feeds and Speeds + Tool Engagement Angle Calculator |
Deep hole drilling recommendations
including support for parabolic drills, when to peck, and when to drill a pilot hole. |
Reamer hole size recommendations. RA and RMS surface finish (scallop height) calculator for turning and ballnose endmills. |
Conventional vs Climb
milling recommendations. Endmill plunge rate and plunge milling feeds and speeds. |
