Cutting speed:
- Cutting speed is the speed at which the cutting edge passes over the material while cutting, and is expressed in meters per minute.
- It is given by:
V =
Where, D = Diameter of drill (mm), N = rpm, V = Cutting speed in m/min
- For a particular diameter drill if spindle speed of machine is increased, the cutting speed increases.
- Cutting speed is also sometimes stated as surface speed or peripheral speed.
- The selection of the recommended cutting speed for drilling or turning etc. depends on the materials to be machined, and the tool material.
