Recommended Cutting Speeds (Vc) for Turning:
Steel:
- • Low Carbon: 200-300 m/min
- • Medium Carbon: 150-250 m/min
- • Stainless: 80-150 m/min
Other Materials:
- • Cast Iron: 150-300 m/min
- • Aluminum: 400-800 m/min
- • Brass: 200-400 m/min
Feed Rate: 0.1-0.5 mm/rev (finishing), 0.3-0.8 mm/rev (roughing)
Important Notes
• Recommended parameters vary based on tool material (HSS vs Carbide), coolant type, machine rigidity, and workpiece condition.
• Always start with conservative parameters and increase gradually based on results.
• For harder materials or difficult conditions, reduce cutting speed by 20-30%.
• Consult tool manufacturer's recommendations for specific insert grades and geometries.
