Calculator Information
Details about the Spindle Speed calculator

Description

Calculates the spindle speed (RPM) based on the milling cutter's effective diameter and the desired cutting speed.

Formulas

Metric:

n = (1000 × Vc) / (π × d)

Units: RPM

Imperial:

n = (12 × Vc) / (π × d)

Units: RPM

Parameters

  • Vc: Cutting Speed (m/min)
  • d: Effective Cutter Diameter (mm)
  • n: Spindle Speed (RPM)
  • π: Mathematical constant Pi (~3.14159)

Notes

Use the Effective Diameter for accurate results, especially for round and chamfer cutters.
