SGS-Speeds-Feeds-55

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides detailed speed and feed recommendations for end mills, specifically for Series 55 and 55CR, across various materials including carbon steels, alloy steels, tool steels, cast irons, stainless steels, super alloys, and titanium alloys. The recommendations are based on material hardness, machining type (Profile or High-Speed Machining), and tool diameter.

Specifications: The document outlines specific parameters such as hardness (Brinell), axial depth of cut (Ap), radial depth of cut (Ae), cutting speed (Vc in SFM), and feed per tooth (Fz). These parameters are provided for different tool diameters ranging from 1/8 inch to 1 inch.

Procedures: For each material category, the document specifies RPM and feed rates (IPM) for both profile and high-speed machining. It also provides guidelines for reducing speed and feed for harder materials and adjustments for finish milling and profile milling with long flute tools.

Recommendations: Users are advised to refer to the SGS Tool Wizard for comprehensive technical information and to adjust parameters based on specific machining conditions. The document emphasizes reducing speed and feed for materials harder than those listed and provides formulas for calculating RPM and IPM.

Key Data: The document includes tables with detailed RPM, feed rates, and cutting parameters for each material type and tool diameter. These tables are crucial for selecting the appropriate machining settings to optimize tool performance and material removal rates.
