Feed Rate
Feed Rate
Calculates feed rate from tooth feed, tooth count, and spindle speed, or tooth feed from a known feed rate.
How to use the result
Obtain feed per tooth from the tool manufacturer catalogue or the cutting-data calculator. It usually applies to full-width engagement; at a smaller width of cut, increase it to compensate for chip thinning.
For turning and drilling, use feed per revolution rather than feed per tooth. The feed-conversion tool converts between these values.
