Feeds/Speeds and Cutting Data Tables

Select Features & Manufacturing tab > Materials panel > Feeds & Speeds to display the Feeds/Speeds And Cutting Data Tables.

Material — Select the material you want to edit. The selected material's table of speed and feed values is displayed.

Tool Grade and Tool Finish — Select a tool grade and tool finish. A material can have multiple data tables, to account for the different combinations of tool grade and finish.

Note: If a feed/speed table exists for a material cut with a tool with a BRIGHT finish, but not for TI_N or BLACK_OXIDE tool finishes, then the speed values are derived from the BRIGHT table. The speed for TI_N is 1.5 times the BRIGHT speed. The speed for BLACK_OXIDE is 1.05 times the BRIGHT speed. The feed rates are the same as the BRIGHT feed rates.Use Range — Some materials have two tables, each associated with a hardness value. For these, you must select either Hardness 1 or Hardness 2 to see the table.

Note: Feedrates are specified for a 1" (or 20mm) tool. For tools that are other diameters, the feedrates are scaled linearly. For example, the feedrate for a 0.25 tool is 1/4 of the table rate.

Dialog buttons

New Stock Material — Add a new stock material.

Delete — Delete the table for the selected material.

Copy Values — Copy the speed and feed values from one material to another. This saves time if two materials have similar values.

Import — Import a feed and speed data file.

Export — Export the feed and speed data.
