Fundamentals

Compute table feed rate fm from feed per tooth f, teeth z and speed n.

This tool computes Feed Rate from the formula: fm = f·z·n

History

Manufacturing evolved with machine tools and CNC; cutting-parameter calculation is central to process planning.

Engineering applications

Used for cutting parameters, tooling and forming process design.

Formula

核心计算关系:fm = f·z·n

输入变量:

  • Feed/tooth f f — mm
  • Teeth z z
  • Speed n n — rpm

输出结果:

  • Feed rate fm fm — mm/min

假设/适用:Cutting params (v, f, a_p) must stay within tool/workpiece recommended windows.

Worked Example

根据公式 fm = f·z·n,取 Feed/tooth f = 0.1 mm;Teeth z = 4;Speed n = 1,000 rpm。

代入计算得:Feed rate fm = 400 mm/min。

Key Points

  • Cutting params (v, f, a_p) must stay within tool/workpiece recommended windows.
  • MRR scales with feed speed, depth and width; sets required spindle power.
  • Feed f = f_z·z·n; match per-tooth feed with spindle speed.
