Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.
SFM is a combination of diameter and the velocity of the material measured in feet-per-minute as the spindle of a milling machine or lathe. 1 SFM equals 0.00508 surface meter per second (meter per second, or m/s, is the SI unit of speed). The faster the spindle turns, and/or the larger the diameter, the higher the SFM.
Knee mill or knee-and-column mill refers to any milling machine whose x-y table rides up and down the column on a vertically adjustable knee. This includes Bridgeports. This includes Bridgeports. Planer-style mill (Plano Milling)Large mills built in the same configuration as planers except with a milling spindle instead of a planing head.
Double pivot spindle head 1 rotating Y axis 1 rotating Z axis 0 Stationary base allows for heavy parts to be milled; Ideal for milling non-round objects; Rotary table and table trunion 0 1 rotating Z axis 1 rotating axis 45° between X & Y axes Similar to a Double Rotary Table, but the 45° axis allows it to be more compact; Most cost-effective ...
The controller is then responsible for driving and monitoring the various positioning components which move the milling head and gantry and control the spindle speed. Spindle speeds can range from 30,000 RPM to 100,000 RPM depending on the milling system, with higher spindle speeds equating to better accuracy, in a nutshell the smaller the tool ...
Done -- feed rate, spindle speed and cutting speed have been moved to the cutting speed page. Spindle speed is derived from cutting speed and feed rate is mixed in with it, so cutting speed won the toss. it took a while to get my head around it but I think it's sorted now. Onto the next project, all going well of course. Feed rate and spindle ...

The air spindles are removable and interchangeable to achieve varying surface speeds. Some spindles are fixed speed (such as at 60,000 rpm), others are adjustable (such as from 30,000 to 50,000 rpm), and still others are very high speed (such as at 175,000 rpm). The machines have a standard X-Y table with the notable exception of knee travel.
