Understanding Cutting Speed

Cutting speed is the speed at which the cutting edge of a tool moves relative to the workpiece. It is a critical parameter in machining operations as it directly affects tool life, surface finish, and the material removal rate. It is typically expressed in meters per minute (m/min) or feet per minute (ft/min).

Formula Used: `Vc = (π * D * n) / 1000`, where `Vc` is cutting speed, `D` is diameter in mm, and `n` is spindle speed in RPM.
