Cutting data: Calculate spindle speed S and feed rate F
POSITIP can calculate the spindle speed S and the feed rate F for
you. As soon as you conclude an entry with ENT, POSITIP
prompts you for the next entry.
Entry values
For the spindle speed S in rpm:
Enter the tool diameter D in mm and the cutting speed V in
m/min.
For the feed rate F in mm/min:
Enter the spindle speed S in rpm,
the number of teeth n of the tool and
the permissible depth of cut per tooth d in mm.
For calculation of the feed rate, POSITIP automatically offers the
spindle speed it just calculated. You can enter a different value,
however.
