cutting speed chart

[moog2]

I've been looking for a surface speed/feed chart,for milling various metals, so i can set up a machining data library, but can't find anything, unless you pay for something which calculates rpm, trig etc, stuff like that..
Does anyone know of a good source of info ?

There are lots of charts available on the web. Look in your Machinery's Handbook for the Surface speed for the material your cutting. Most of the tooling vendors like Kennametal have charts availble for free and most likely on their web sites.

As tools get more specific it's best to ask the tool reps for support. Look for the Operators Handbook for milling from a Hanita rep. One of the best I've found especially when it comes to coated tools.
