New to CNC need help.

[Erlock]

Hello I'm kinda new to CNC I've had a couple class about three years ago and haven't touched a CNC since. I've just been thrown into the CNC position at work and learning everything again. I know this is a easy question but I can't rember where to get the information from. Where can I find a chart or book or whatever that will tell me SFPM and CL for my tools? I have a what the my instructor calls a magic material that will calculate my speeds and feeds perfectly for what ever material. That only thing I have to enter is SFPM and CL, but don't know where to find them.


Thanks

Great site btw

You can use the machinist's handbook for sfm as far as cl I'm not sure if your'e talking about the cut length of your tool or the depth of cut you want tno take.
