NCTune CNC Toolbox
From catalogue data to machine parameters
Enter cutting speed, diameter and feed per tooth or revolution. The calculator returns spindle speed, linear feed and an estimated material removal rate.
Formula and terminology reference: Sandvik Coromant.
Drilling and turning
For these operations linear feed is calculated from feed per revolution fn.
Starting point
Compare the result with the tool catalogue, setup rigidity and machine limits.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where should cutting speed Vc come from?
Use the tool maker's catalogue for the actual work material, insert grade, geometry and coolant conditions.
Does the calculator select parameters for a material?
No. It converts process data into RPM, feed and MRR; it does not replace tool-maker recommendations.
