TABLAS PARA CALCULO DE VELOCIDADES

Maximizing Performance and Tool Life
General Recommendations
For latest speed and feed information and charts, please visit FullertonTool.com.
All speed and feed recommendations should be considered as a starting point.
Start with conservative speeds and feeds while analyzing the rigidity of the process.
Then cautiously progress incrementally to achieve optimum performance. Contact
Fullerton Tool directly for any additional support.
The parameters listed for tool series that are stocked uncoated are based on running
an uncoated tool. If a coating is applied to the tools, the SFM can be increased by
approximately 25%
Rigidity
Maximize rigidity to reduce chatter and increase tool life. Ways to improve rigidity
include, choosing the largest diameter possible to perform your milling task, use the
shortest LOC (Length of Cut) available, and always use the tool holder which offers the
shortest gage line (Shortest Tool Holder Length).
For assistance in selecting the best tool for your
application and how to apply it, we provide the
latest selection guides and speed & feed charts
on our website FullertonTool.com.
We also have an experienced technical staff
available to assist you with any support you
need on your application.

Chatter
If chatter is present increase feed or reduce speed.
END MILLS
End Mill Speed and Feed Recomendations
Extra Long End Mills
For extra long end mills the SFM should be reduced by 25%.
Cutter Direction
Cutter direction should be in a climb milling direction whenever possible. Conventional
tool paths may be employed when the tool is in use on older manual equipment to
minimize backlash or to remove scale to reach the softer parent material underneath.
TIR or Total Indicator Runout
This condition should be held to a minimum at all times. As this value increases, the
effectiveness of the tool’s performance decreases thus reducing tool life.
Re-cutting Chips
Use a coolant or air blast to evacuate chips to avoid premature damage to your carbide
cutting tool, which may occur if chips are recut.
Formulas to determine speed, feed & chip load after the
type and diameter of the cutting tool is determined.
US Customary Units (Imperial)
D = cutter diameter (in)
T = tooth count (flute)
IPT chip load (in/flute) = IPM ÷ RPM ÷ T
IPR feed per revolution (in/rev) = IPM ÷ RPM
SFM surface speed (ft/min) = 0.2618 x RPM x D
RPM spindle speed (rev/min) = 3.82 x SFM ÷ D
IPM feed rate (in/min) = RPM x IPT x T
SI Units (Metric)
D = cutter diameter (mm)
T = tooth count (flute)
MMPT chip load (mm/flute)
MMPR feed per revolution (mm/rev) = MMPM ÷ RPM
SMPM surface speed (m/min) = 0.00314 x RPM x D
RPM spindle speed (rev/min) = 318.3 x SMPM ÷ D
MMPM feed rate (mm/min) = RPM x MMPT x T
Feed Rate Conversion
MMPM (mm/min) = IPM (in/min) x 25.4 (mm/in)
IPM (in/min) = MMPM (mm/min) x 0.0394 (in/mm)
Surface Speed Conversion
SMPM (m/min) = SFM (ft/min) x 0.3048 (m/ft)
SFM (ft/min) = SMPM (m/min) x 3.2808 (ft/m)
Unit Conversion
1 in = 25.4 mm
1 ft = 304.8 mm = 0.3048 m
1 mm = .03937 in
1 m = 3.2808 ft = 39.370 in

Imperial Units
The parameters listed for tool series that are stocked uncoated are based on running an
uncoated tool. If a coating is applied to the tools, the SFM can be increased by approximately
25%
All speed and feed recommendations should be considered only as a starting point. Start with
conservative speeds and feeds while analyzing the rigidity of the process. Then cautiously
progress incrementally to achieve optimum performance. Contact Fullerton Tool directly for any
additional support.

The parameters listed for tool series that are stocked uncoated are based on running an
uncoated tool. If a coating is applied to the tools, the SFM can be increased by approximately
25%
All speed and feed recommendations should be considered only as a starting point. Start with
conservative speeds and feeds while analyzing the rigidity of the process. Then cautiously
progress incrementally to achieve optimum performance. Contact Fullerton Tool directly for any
additional support.

Imperial Units
The parameters listed for tool series that are stocked uncoated are based on running an
uncoated tool. If a coating is applied to the tools, the SFM can be increased by approximately
25%
All speed and feed recommendations should be considered only as a starting point. Start with
conservative speeds and feeds while analyzing the rigidity of the process. Then cautiously
progress incrementally to achieve optimum performance. Contact Fullerton Tool directly for any
additional support.

DRILLS
A reduction in speed and feed to reduce the amount of
heat generated is generally required in most deep-hole
applications where coolant cannot be effectively applied.
Peck drilling, or the practice of drilling a short distance,
then withdrawing the drill, will often reduce the chip
packing. The deeper the hole, the more frequent the drill
must be retracted to be effective.
The deeper the hole, the greater the tendency there is for
chips to pack and clog the flutes of the drill. This increases
the amount of heat generated and prevents the coolant
from conducting the heat away from the point. A buildup
of heat at the point will eventually result in premature
failure.
Holes which must be drilled three diameters deep or more
fall into the “deep hole” drilling class and some adjustment
of feeds and speeds is necessary.
Speeds and Feeds for Deep-Hole Drilling
To achieve optimal performance, attention must be
paid to the following:
1. Machine utilizing tooling must have necessary
rigidity to minimize spindle deflection and sufficient
horsepower to perform at recommended speeds and
feeds.
2. Make sure holders and collets give good concentricity
between tool and machine spindle.
3. Rigidly clamp and support workpiece to minimize
deflection.
4. Use as short a drill as the application will permit to
give maximum tool rigidity.
5. Use coolant, as recommended, to improve tool
life. Direct the flow of coolant to the cutting edges.
Insufficient or poorly directed coolant can result in
poor tool life.
6. Use the correct speeds and feeds to suit the
application and material being machined.
7. Re-sharpen or replace drills at first indication of
cutting lip dulling or corner of cutting lip rounding.

Drill Speed and Feed Recommendations
General Recommendations
For latest speed and feed information and charts, please visit FullertonTool.com.
All speed and feed recommendations should be considered as a starting point.
Start with conservative speeds and feeds while analyzing the rigidity of the process.
Then cautiously progress incrementally to achieve optimum performance. Contact
Fullerton Tool directly for any additional support.
The parameters listed for tool series that are stocked uncoated are based on running
an uncoated tool. If a coating is applied to the tools, the SFM can be increased by
approximately 25%
Rigidity
Maximize rigidity to reduce chatter and increase tool life. Ways to improve rigidity
include, choosing the largest diameter possible to perform your milling task, use the
shortest LOC (Length of Cut) available, and always use the tool holder which offers
the shortest gage line (Shortest Tool Holder Length).
Chatter
If chatter is present increase feed or reduce speed.
TIR or Total Indicator Runout
This condition should be held to a minimum at all times. As this value increases, the
effectiveness of the tool’s performance decreases thus reducing tool life.
Re-cutting Chips
Use a coolant or air blast to evacuate chips to avoid premature damage to your
carbide cutting tool, which may occur if chips are recut.
Formulas to determine speed, feed & chip load after the
type and diameter of the cutting tool is determined.
US Customary Units (Imperial)
D = cutter diameter (in)
T = tooth count (flute)
IPT chip load (in/flute) = IPM ÷ RPM ÷ T
IPR feed per revolution (in/rev) = IPM ÷ RPM
SFM surface speed (ft/min) = 0.2618 x RPM x D
RPM spindle speed (rev/min) = 3.82 x SFM ÷ D
IPM feed rate (in/min) = RPM x IPT x T
SI Units (Metric)
D = cutter diameter (mm)
T = tooth count (flute)
MMPT chip load (mm/flute)
MMPR feed per revolution (mm/rev) = MMPM ÷ RPM
SMPM surface speed (m/min) = 0.00314 x RPM x D
RPM spindle speed (rev/min) = 318.3 x SMPM ÷ D
MMPM feed rate (mm/min) = RPM x MMPT x T
Feed Rate Conversion
MMPM (mm/min) = IPM (in/min) x 25.4 (mm/in)
IPM (in/min) = MMPM (mm/min) x 0.0394 (in/mm)
Surface Speed Conversion
SMPM (m/min) = SFM (ft/min) x 0.3048 (m/ft)
SFM (ft/min) = SMPM (m/min) x 3.2808 (ft/m)
Unit Conversion
1 in = 25.4 mm
1 ft = 304.8 mm = 0.3048 m
1 mm = .03937 in
1 m = 3.2808 ft = 39.370 in
