Cutting Speed in Turning Formula Elements

Variables
Constants
Cutting Speed
Cutting Speed refers to the speed at which a cutting tool moves across the surface of a workpiece during machining. It's basically how fast the tool cuts the material.
Symbol: Vc
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter of Workpiece
The Diameter of Workpiece refers to the initial diameter of the workpiece before machining is done. This would be the diameter of the raw material stock that gets fed into the machine for processing.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Spindle Speed
Spindle Speed is the rotational frequency of machine tool spindle in a specified time frame. Workpiece is mounted with spindle using chuck.
Symbol: N
Measurement: Angular VelocityUnit: rev/min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Archimedes' constant
Archimedes' constant is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
Symbol: π
Value: 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

How to Evaluate Cutting Speed in Turning?

Cutting Speed in Turning evaluator uses Cutting Speed = pi*Diameter of Workpiece*Spindle Speed to evaluate the Cutting Speed, Cutting Speed in Turning is the speed of the workpiece's surface as it spins against the cutting tool. It impacts tool life, surface finish, and material removal rate. Choosing the right speed depends on the workpiece material, tool material, depth of cut, and your lathe's capabilities. Cutting Speed is denoted by Vc symbol.
