Folks,
I'm probably a bit dumb on this stuff. The document above talks about Speed and Feed rates to use. Both are in in./min. I assume that feed is the rate at which the cutter is moved around the toolpath, so is speed in this case the rate at which the tool is rotated? If this is the case how do you turn the in./min speed into revs? Is it simply rpm*d*pi where rpm is the revs per min of the cutter d is the diameter of the cutter and pi is 3.142, or is it more complex than this..... or do I have all of this wrong.... In which case can someone point me at a good page that explains all!
Thanks
