Speeds and Feeds - Machine Shop maths
What you'll learn
- Calculating the correct spindle speed
- Understanding cutting speeds
- Feed rate maths
- Calculate feed per tooth (Chip Load)
- Feed per revolution when using Lathes
- Working out correct cutting times
Requirements
- No previous knowledge required
Description
As a machinist, arguably the most often used maths equations we use is to calculate speeds and feed.
in this course, you will learn how to quickly work out spindle speeds for your cutter, how to select the correct cutting speed, calculate the table feed rate for the perfect finish, calculate feed per tooth (chip load), understand feed per revolution when using lathes and working out correct cutting times.
All with downloadable question sheets.
This laser-focused course will teach you all this is 60 minutes.
Everything explaining using both metric and imperial unit.
Who this course is for:
- Machinists, Engineers and Apprentices
Instructor
I entered into the world of CNC Machining in 1991 as an apprentice for British Aerospace. After a four year apprenticeship I spent the following 26 years programming, operating and setting a full range of CNC Machines, including Lathes and milling machines.
I specialise in programming FANUC and Heidenhain machine tool operating systems up to 12 Axis.
My main roles involved hand coding at the machine instead of using CAD/CAM software.
