Feed Rate and Chip Load Calculator

Calculate table feed from RPM, flute count and feed per tooth, or find implied feed per tooth from a known table feed. Provide the chip-load input from your cutter maker or process plan.

Application Note

Table feed = RPM × flutes × programmed feed per tooth. This simple relationship does not predict maximum chip thickness when radial engagement is low.
