It is important to use the proper cutting speed and feed rate to prevent injury and for damaging the machine or cutting tool.
The proper feed rate and cutting speed need to be determined before machining the work piece.
The proper feed rate and cutting speed can be calculated.
Cutting speeds and feed rates
Cutting speeds and feed rates are determined by hardness and the type of material of the work piece, the shape of the cutting tool, how rigid the cutting tool is, the power rating of the machine, and how rigid the work piece and the machine are.
