Feed & Speed Calculator
Calculate RPM and feed from cutting speed, diameter, flute count and chip load.
Open calculator →Browse dedicated calculators for feed rate, RPM, spindle speed, chip load, SFM, cutting speed, MRR, feed per revolution, tapping and cutting time.
The CNC Calculator Library groups the core calculations used when converting cutting data into machine values. Choose a dedicated tool when you need a single variable checked, or use the Feed & Speed calculator when you need the full RPM/feed relationship.

Open calculator →Core calculators cover spindle speed, RPM, feed rate, chip load, SFM, cutting speed, MRR, feed per revolution, cutting time, tapping feed and automatic feed and speed. Specialized pages add milling, drilling, turning, metric and tool-specific search intents without duplicating the same calculation page.
These tools perform transparent arithmetic. The cutting-speed and chip-load values still need to come from the actual tool/material source. Check machine limits, engagement, workholding and tool stick-out before production.
