RPM Calculator

The RPM calculator is used to determine the RPM (or surface cutting
speed) based on a specified tool (part, for turning applications)
diameter. The values shown in this Figure are only an example.
Consult the tool manufacturer's manual to verify spindle speed ranges
per tool.
U

U Press the RPM soft key to open the RPM CALCULATOR form.
U The RPM calculator requires a tool diameter. Use the numeric hard
keys to enter a diameter value. The diameter value will default to the
current tool's diameter. If there is no last value entered in this power
cycle, the default value is 0.
U If a surface speed value is required, enter the value using the
numeric hard keys. When a surface speed value is entered, the
associated RPM value will be calculated.
When in the Surface Speed field, a soft key is available for opening on-
line help. The table may be consulted for a recommended range of
surface speeds for the material being machined.
U Press the UNITS soft key to show the units as inch, or millimeter.
