Drilling and Milling Speeds and Feeds
Like a drill bit, the speed of a milling cutter is measured in terms of the rate at which the outside, or periphery, of the tool moves in relation to the work being milled. General sfm guidelines are found in resources such as the Machinery Handbook (refer again to . Table 1. in this document). The peripheral and rotational velocities of the tool are related by the same equation: V = π × D ...
