Calculating Feeds and Speeds can be overwhelming, but it does not have to be. I go over a practical guide for a beginner to understand and calculate feedrates and RPM.

Great video,, thanks for making this. !
Thank You
Zwięźlejsze powinny byc te filmy. Mniej gadki wiecej konkretnych informacji.
Brilliant video and thank you for the spreadsheet ??????
Man this is exactly what I have been looking for!!! Power is truth and knowledge!!!
You saved the day!!!!
Thank you!!!
Chris
Exactly what I have been looking for, simple explanation based in the reality of working with wood on a small CNC! Thanks for sharing the spreadsheet too.
By far the best explanation of chip load that I have heard! Well done
Cool.i will try,especially interested to reduce cutting time. I believe I do not go deep enough on my passes.
I learn a lot from you man:) Thanks you!
I have a laguna IQ and this video is just what i needed to set my speeds and feeds. I like the part about reading the chip that is super helpful. A video about how to hold down the wood and various fixturing would be a video i would like to see. Thanks your channel is always helpful and you are a great teacher
I am trying to find the chip load bit feed and speed chart
Great video! Very informative. Love the catchphrase at the end.
It's been a while but this video is still very useful today. congratulations, my cnc is small 1000mm x 800mm with 315oz motors 1605 spindle, I did a test flattening the sacrifice table at 6000mm/min really when the machine can cut within those parameters mentioned by you, it's another level although 6000mm/min was the maximum I could at the moment. here in Brazil homemade machines make a lot of dust ? today I managed to make some grains, and it gets a lot less dirty.

Excellent video,
Do you have the chip load values for 1.5mm cutters?
Grateful
I don't think I can produce chips with the 3018 cnc. 🙁 It has 775 engines.):
Thank you for information
I have tried copied over your excel spread sheet but i cannot get it to change the chip load in the formula. Any tips would be helpful.
Your the man. Thanks!
Ok. so I mainly work with laminated chipboards ,my cnc runs at 5000 mm/min because of the vacuum pump capacity(My boss is not open to investing more money). Anything above and I risk the plate being pushed, especially on smaller plates. I use a two flute 8mm carbide compression bit. Applying this formula I get that the optimal rpm's for the designated chip load is only 6000 rpm's?
Also. I would recommend a starting lead into laminated chip boards with a straight plunge. I was trying the ramps and it always chipped of the laminate at the point of entry off the chipboard which was driving me crazy.
I really do love this video. Could the excel sheet be modified for the hobbyist? I know you said the chip load would be on the lower side of the ranges you have here – might be helpful for a 2nd tab for hobbyist
Dude! You saved me some grief. Thanks! Getting my first machine soon so that will help with bit selection.
Amazing, saw on many other videos and sources to slow down the cutting for a better finish. Didn't think to go faster! Guess its kind of like flying, better to be moving fast or you stall out!
Nachi bits all day btw
Terrific, thanks for the education. Couple of follow-up questions. Thanks again for you concise, hi-energy, and efficient effort…much appreciated.
Quite an informational video! Thanks to this i was able to do my very first PVC cut perfectly
Thanks!!!!
I always cut and then stop. Didn't think I was cutting too slow. But I am cutting particle board so not sure if the chips should look different.
Is the hardwood that they speak of your general American hardwoods? Like Black Walnut, White Oak, and Cherry?
I mean even those have a lot of spread in hardness, not even considering something like IPE or Desert Ironwood.
Loving this channel! Finally someone who speaks my language. Keep it up brother!!
Tanks for the exel!!! its very very very helpfull, Regards!!
Nice help, thanks.
You shouldn't have something similar for soft metals (copper, brass, aluminum)
men please use metric system..
Been watching your videos and they have helped more than you would imagine. Really like the chip load chart you provided. Do you know if there is one for smaller bits or do you use the same chip load for 1/8? I would think that would be too much for a 1mm or even 1.5mm. If you could help. Thanks.
Does foam (high density foam) count as soft plastic or something else?
???
ty so much, i just realized that i'm doing almost everything wrong!
Awesome video. This actually made a lot of sense to me. I'm looking into my first CNC so I have taken a screen shot of your chart and will definitely take it into account.
Wood elves explains good concepts, who would have thunk it? ?
This was great. I have ask many of CNC operaters about feed and speed. This has answered many of my questions. Thanks for the information. Keep the videos coming.
This makes the most sense I've seen – THANK YOU and for the spreadsheet! On ramping, @45°, what would you use for the distance? Thanks!
Thanks a lots
Waht about ball nose tools? What is the rules
Thanks, very useful. I am new to CNC, and your guide is what I need.
Would you be willing to share that excel sheet with calculation formulas?
