CNC Feed & Speed Optimizer

Calculate spindle RPM and feed rate (IPM) from surface feet per minute, tool geometry, chip load. Plus material removal rate for cycle-time estimates.

How to use this tool

  1. 1

    Material + tool diameter

    Determines surface speed (SFM).

  2. 2

    Flute count + chip load

    Per-tooth feed rate.

  3. 3

    See RPM + IPM + MRR

    Spindle speed + feed rate + material removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is SFM?
Surface Feet per Minute — relative surface speed at tool periphery. Material- and tool-dependent. Aluminum 6061: 1500-3000. Mild steel: 100-250. Stainless: 80-150.
Chip load values?
Per-tooth chip thickness in inches or mm. Aluminum: 0.005-0.012". Steel: 0.002-0.008". Plastics: 0.003-0.010". Smaller chip = better finish, more wear; larger = faster cut, vibration risk.
MRR — Material Removal Rate?
Volume of material removed per minute. MRR = WoC × DoC × IPM. High MRR = fast cycle but tool wear increases. Roughing: max MRR. Finishing: low.
