\Turning Speed and Feed Calculator Determine the spindle speed (ROM) and feed rate (IPM) for a turning operation, as wall as the cut time for a ‘given cut length, Turing opetations remove material fom a rotating workpiece by feeding a single-point cutting tool axially, along the side of the workpiece. Calculations use the desired cut diameter, culling speed, and cutting feed, which should be chosen besed on the specific cutting conditions, including the workpiece material ‘and tool material. In some turning operations, the diemeter of the workpiece will change so the spincle speed ‘and cutting speed (SFM) must change as well. Typicslly, velues are calculated for a single cut diameter and ‘then ether the spindle speed or cutting speed is held constant while the other vanes. Learn more about Turning.
