Fundamentals

Compute spindle speed n from cutting speed v (m/min) and tool dia. D (mm).

This tool computes Spindle Speed from the formula: n = 1000·v/(π·D)

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:n = 1000·v/(π·D)

输入变量:

  • Cutting speed v v — m/min
  • Tool dia. D D — mm

输出结果:

  • Speed n n — rpm

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

Worked Example

根据公式 n = 1000·v/(π·D),取 Cutting speed v = 100 m/min;Tool dia. D = 10 mm。

代入计算得:Speed n = 3,183 rpm。

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.
