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.
