Example
What spindle speed should be used to Mill Aluminum with a inch End Mill?
CS x 4 RPM = Diameter
Cutting Speed for Aluminum is 250 surface ft./min.
RPM =
250 x 4

Fm = ft x nt x N
Fm = ft x nt x N
ft=.005 in. / tooth
N= = 250 x 4 .5
nt= 2 teeth
= 2000 rpm
Fm = .005 x 2 x 2000
Fm = 20 in/min.
Fm = ft x nt x N
ft=.005 in. / tooth
N= = 250 x 4 .75
nt= 4 teeth
= 1333.33 rpm
Fm = .005 x 4 x 1333.33
Fm = 26.67 in/min.
Special Operations
CS x 4 RPM = Diameter
Other Special Operations require slower speeds:
