Cutting Data Calculator
Work out milling speed, feed, metal removal rate and cutting power. Pick a material to load typical starting values for a coated carbide end mill, then adjust them to suit your tool.
Results
- Spindle speed
- Feed rate
- Metal removal rate
- Cutting power, before machine losses
- Time to cut 100 mm
n = 1000 × Vc ÷ (π × D). Vf = fz × z × n. Q = ap × ae × Vf ÷ 1000. P = Q × kc ÷ 60,000, using a typical specific cutting force for the material ().
Default values are general starting points, not guarantees. Tool maker data, machine rigidity and setup come first, so start conservatively and adjust from there.
