Calculating Spindle Speed
1. To select the correct spindle speed (RPM)
needed for a particular milling operation, first
select the type material you will be using from
the chart in (fig. 17).
2. Then using the formula located below the
chart you will be able to calculate what RPM
to set the belt configuration to.
3. Measure the diameter of your cutting tool (in
inches).
Spindle Speed Example:
For making a surface cut on a piece of mild steel
using a 3/8” (0.375”) HSS cutter, do the following:
a. From the chart, the recommended
cutting speed for mild steel is 90
(SFM).
b. Using the formula, 90 (SFM) x 4 = 360.
c.
360 / 0.375” (diameter of cutter) =
960
RPM.
d. From the speed chart (fig. 17) you
would then set the belt at position (2)
for a speed of 1160 rpm.
