Feed & Speed Calculator
CNC Drilling Setup Guide
Dedicated CNC machining guide: CNC Drilling Setup Guide.
A drilling workflow covering RPM, feed per revolution, depth, chip evacuation, coolant and peck strategy.
Guide workflow
01Confirm drill diameter and point geometry
02Select source cutting speed
03Calculate RPM
04Set feed per revolution and feed rate
05Check hole depth, evacuation and coolant
What to verify
Use actual tool geometry, material grade and machine information. A mathematical result becomes useful only when its source data and physical setup are known.
Compare the calculated value with manufacturer documentation and the machine limits before production. For troubleshooting, change one major variable at a time so the observed effect remains traceable.
