Calculate Optimum Diameter For Cutter Or Part
When machining, it is occasionally desirable to calculate the appropriate diameter of either the cutter (i.e. milling) or the workpiece (i.e. turning) when the Surface Feet per Minute are known, and the RPM’s are established. The equation used in this calculation is: Diameter = (SFM / RPM) / (Pi * 12) where, SFM = Surface […]
