Cutting Speeds Recomendations for Tool Steel and High Alloy Steel

* Click on the speeds below for higher precision in specific conditions!

Application	Vc (m/min)	Vc (SFM)
Turning	100-240	330-790
Milling	65-150	210-490
Parting	50-115	160-380
Grooving	55-135	180-440
Drilling	40-95	130-310

Important! The speed estimation is given for an ideal situation:

Most suitable carbide grade
Stable tool clamping
Stable workpiece clamping
Good quality raw material
A short overhang of the cutting tool.
Nominal hardness of the material.
etc.
