Suggested Feed Rates

Suggested Feed Rates

These are only starting points. They will vary with application and workpiece condition.

Material or Application Type	Feed Per Tooth (inches)
Thin Walled Workpieces Oblique Entry / Curved Surfaces Semi-Circles / Fragile Setups	.001 / .002 (.003 FPT with Work Hardening Materials)
Soft / Gummy Materials	.004 / .005
Typical / Average Applications	.003 / .004
Deep Holes	.004 / .005

Difficult-to-machine materials will require reduced feed rates. Please contact our Engineering Department regarding specific applications.
