Milling Defined The process of cutting away material by feeding a workpiece past a rotating multiple tooth cutter
Calculating RPM For Milling • RPM = CS x 4/D • Where RPM = Spindle speed (in revolutions per minute). • CS = cutting speed of milling cutter (in SFPM) • D = diameter of milling cutter (in inches)
Calculating Feed Rate For Milling • Feed Rate is expressed in IPM • IPM = CPT x N x RPM • IPM = Feed rate in inches per minute. • CPT = Chip per tooth • N = Number of teeth of the milling cutter
Calculate Feed Rate For Milling Given The Following: • CS = 300 • D = 0.5” • CPT = 0.005 • N = 2
Answer • The first step is to calculate the spindle speed before the feed rate can be calculated. • RPM = CS X 4/D = 300 x 4/0.5 = 2,400 • The second step is to calculate the feed rate. • IPM = CPT x N x RPM • = 0.005 x 2 x 2,400 • = 24 IPM (Inches Per Minute)
Calculate IPM and RPM • Given that: • CS = 250 • D = 0.25” • CPT = 0.003 • N = 4 Show your work here: RPM = _______; IPM = ________ Your Name: ________________________
