    Whitney Suggested Cutting Speeds (SFM) : Feed and Speed Chart

    Uploaded by

    CAT MINING SHOVEL
    This document provides suggested cutting speeds in feet per minute (SFM) for various materials when using high speed steel, cobalt tool steel, uncoated carbide, and coated carbide tools. It lists speeds for aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, brass, bronze, titanium, steels, stainless steels, high temperature alloys, and cast iron. It recommends starting with a chip load of .002 to .005 per tooth and doubling the feed rate for titanium.
