Frequently Asked Questions
How is spindle speed calculated for a CNC endmill?
Spindle speed uses n = (Vc × 3.8197) / D, where Vc is the surface speed in m/min and D is the tool diameter in millimetres.
What is radial chip thinning and when does it apply?
When the radial width of cut is below half the tool diameter, each tooth removes a thinner chip, so the feed rate is multiplied by a chip-thinning factor kt.
How do I check the cut against my machine limits?
The calculator compares spindle speed, cutting power and tool deflection against the configured machine limits and flags the result Compliant or Review.
