Is there a basic rule of thumb to use to determine the max rpm for a material size? I realized there are a lot of factors to consider like type of material, material size, soft jaw material and size. I have a job to do that is 6" diameter aluminum 6" long. The jaws are 3" tall aluminum and I'll grip about 2". Can anyone give me an approximate max rpm for that type of job. I have only done smaller parts in the lathe and so it really hasn't been an issue.
I try to be very conservative because I don't use the lathe that much and most of the parts are one off. But I'm not really sure where to even start.
As always any input is appreciated.
Thanks!
