Title: Feeds and Speeds
Course: Multi-Axis Machining Operations (ATE CENTRAL) > Section: Day 1 - 5 Hours (Total: 5 Hours)

INTRODUCTION

Throughout this course, you will need to calculate feed rates and RPM values. This is one of the fundamental skills that a machinist needs to understand. The best place to find appropriate feeds and speeds is from the tool manufacturer. However, for general use and for assignments during this course you will refer to the charts below to calculate feeds and speeds for your toolpaths unless directed otherwise.

Note |  | In all lessons you will be cutting aluminum with coated carbide tools. Use the high end of the uncoated carbide column for calculations. |
