These high speed steel end mill feed rate
tables were designed for quick and easy reference of feed and speed
rates for tapered end mills. This is for starting parameters
only, as everyone's application is different. After seven degrees, you
may have to use the large diameter multiplier
provided in your catalog to figure out the large diameter of the
tool you are using. Then use that figure for RPM instead of tip size.
You would then use your tip size to figure your feed per tooth. Tapered
end mill usage can be tricky if the proper settings are not adhered
to. Please follow these endmill usage charts as closely as possible.
If you have any questions regarding endmills or tapered
end mill applications, or just need instruction in the use of these
tables, feel free to
contact Dave Melinn at tech@conicaltool.com or
1-888-531-8500.
Thank
you,
