Dial in a cut and you either make chips or make scrap. Feeds and speeds match spindle RPM and feed rate to the material so the tool cuts clean and lasts.

Machining a part right means matching spindle speed and feed to the material. The cutting speed (surface meters per minute) sets the RPM for a given tool diameter; the feed rate is RPM times chip load per tooth times the number of teeth. Too fast burns the tool; too slow rubs and work-hardens. The material removal rate is your productivity.
Reading this result: Feed rate is RPM times chip load times flute count, so adding flutes or feed lifts throughput here to about 38.2 cm³/min without changing the surface speed.

How it works
Cutting speed — the surface meters per minute a material tolerates — sets the spindle RPM for a given tool diameter. Feed rate is RPM times the chip load per tooth times the number of teeth. Too fast overheats and dulls the tool; too slow rubs and work-hardens the part. The material removal rate measures how quickly you turn stock into a finished part.

Is this CNC feeds and speeds calculator tool really free?▾
Yes. CNC Feeds & Speeds runs entirely in your browser using your device's own compute, so local use is free forever. You only pay Compute Tokens if you scale a job to the cloud.
Do I need to install anything?▾
No. Everything runs client-side in a modern browser — no downloads, no license, no account required to start.
Can I save or share my simulation?▾
Create a free account to save projects, and use a shareable embed or minted DOI to publish a live, interactive version anywhere.
How accurate are the results?▾
The solver uses established numerical methods, but results are for research and educational purposes and should be validated against experiment or professional review before you rely on them.
