Milling - Cutting Data: Nomenclature and Formula

This document provides formulas and definitions for calculating cutting parameters for milling operations, including: - Cutting speed (vc) is calculated based on RPM, number of teeth, and cutter diameter. - Feed speed (vf) and feed per revolution (f) can be calculated based on RPM, number of teeth, feed per tooth (fz), and the effective number of teeth (K). - Metal removal rate (Q) is calculated based on width of cut, depth of cut, feed speed, and working diameter. - Effective number of teeth (K) is sometimes less than the total number of teeth (z) for some cutters, and is used to calculate feed speed and feed

Milling – Cutting data


Nomenclature and formula
RPM
vc · 12
n = (rev/min)
p·D

Cutting speed
n·p·D
vc = (ft/min)
12

Feed speed
vf = n · z · fz (inch/min)

D = Cutter diameter
vf = n · K · fz (inch/min)
z = No of teeth
K = Effective No. of teeth for calculation of
feed speed or feed per rev (see below)
Feed per revolution vc = Surface footage/min.
f = z · fz (inch/rev) n = Rev./min. RPM
vf = Table travel (in./min.)
fz = Feed per tooth
f = K · fz (inch/rev) f = Feed per revolution
Q = Metal removal rate in. 3/min.
ae = Width of cut/radial depth of cut
Metal removal rate ap = Depth of cut/axial depth of cut
R = Cutter radius
Q = ae · ap · vf (inch3/min)
Dw= Working diameter

Effective No. of teeth (K)


The effective No. of teeth (K) is used to calculate the feed
speed (vf) and the feed per revolution (f). For most of the cut-
ters the effective No. of teeth (K) is equal to the No. of teeth in
the cutter (z), but for some of the cutters K is less than z.

Example: Disc mill 335.19


Total No. of teeth (z) = 12 Effective No. of teeth (K) = 6
Explanation: 6 inserts on one side of the cutter and 6 overlap-
ping inserts on the other side are used to get the full width (ap),
which means K = 6.
