· *Here are some quick formulas to help you get the most from your tools. | |||
RPM | Revolutions per Minute | = | (3.82 x SFM) / diameter |
SFM | Surface Feet per Minute | = | .262 x diameter x RPM |
IPM | Inches per Minute | = | FPT x RPM x number of flutes(or teeth) |
Cubic IPM | Required Horsepower from Machine | = | depth x width x IPM |
FPR | Feed per Revolution | = | IPM / RPM |
IPM | Inches per Minute | = | RPM x feed (for drilling) |
FPT | Feed per Tooth | = | FPR / number of teeth |
