FORMULAE For Face milling
 CUTTING SPEED(Pc)    

*Divide by 1000 to change to m from mm.
vc (m/min) Cutting Speed
Check the item you want to calculate, input values in the two boxes, and then press the Calculate button.
D1 (mm)

n (min-1)
vc (m/min)

D1 (mm) Cutter Diameter
π (3.14) Pi
n(min-1) Main Axis Spindle Speed
(Problem)
What is the cutting speed when main axis spindle speed is 350min-1 and cutter diameter isø125? (Answer)
Substitute π=3.14, D1=125, n=350 into the formulae.

 FEED PER TOOTH (fz)    
fz (mm/tooth) Feed perTtooth
Check the item you want to calculate, input values in the three boxes, and then press the Calculate button.
vf (mm/min)
z
n (min-1)
fz (mm/tooth)

z Insert Number
vf (mm/min) Table Feed per Min.
n (min-1) Main Axis Spindle Speed (Feed per Revolution f = z x fz)
(Problem)
What is the feed per tooth when the main axis spindle speed is 500min-1, insert number is 10, and table feed is 500mm/min?
(Answer)
Substitute the above figures into the formulae.

fz=vf÷(z×n)=500÷(10×500)=0.1mm/tooth
The answer is 0.1mm/tooth.

 TABLE FEED (vf)    
vf (mm/min) Table Feed per Min.
z Insert Number
fz (mm/tooth)) Feed per Tooth
n (min-1) Main Axis Spindle Speed

(Problem)
What is the cutting time when 100mm workpiece is machined at 1,000min-1, with feed=0.2mm/rev?
(Answer)
First, calculate the cutting length per min. from the feed and spindle speed.
l=f×n=0.2×1000=200(mm/min)
Substitute the answer above into the formulae.
Tc=lm÷l=100÷200=0.5(min)
0.5×60=30(sec.) The answer is 30 seconds


 CUTTING TIME (Tc)

Tc(min) Cutting Time
Input the values
L (mm)
vf (mm/min)

Tc (min)
second (s)
vf(mm/min) Table Feed per Min.
L (mm) Total Table Feed Length (Workpiece Length: l+Cutter Diameter: D1)
(Problem)
What is the cutting time required for finishing 100 mm width and 300 length surface of a cast iron (GG20) block when cutter diameter is ø200, the number of inserts is 16, the cutting speed is 125m/min, and feed per tooth is 0.25 mm. (spindle speed is 200 min-1)

(Answer)
Calculate table feed per min vf=0.25×16×200=800mm/min
Calculate total table feed length. L=300+200=500mm
Substitute the above answers into the formulae.

Tc=500÷800=0.625(min)
0.625×60=37.5(sec). The answer is 37.5 sec.
