Table Feed Rate (Vf) vs Feed per Tooth (fz)

Milling Feed Rate Calculation

The table feed rate determines how fast the workpiece moves past the cutter.

Formula

Vf = fz x z x N

where fz is the feed per tooth (chip load), z is the number of cutting teeth on the milling cutter, and N is the spindle speed in RPM. The result is the linear table feed rate in mm/min.

Example Calculation

A 4-flute end mill at 1000 RPM with 0.1 mm/tooth feed.

  1. 01Feed per revolution = 0.1 x 4 = 0.4 mm/rev
  2. 02Table feed = 0.1 x 4 x 1000 = 400 mm/min
