So there are a million calculators out there and I have tons of formulas in an excel spread sheet for reference. The one thing I can't find much info on is inches per tooth on tools. The only formula I have come across is Diameter/200. But that seems like a hyper conservative cut. For example, leaves a .000625 FPT on a .125 endmill.
There's obviously a lot of factors with cutter, coating, material to cut, etc. All the formulas are super straight forward but I can't seem to find a good table of values for what chip loads to use.
Mainly using simple HSS, some carbide, on Aluminum. Does anyone have good reference material or formulas for determining feed per tooth?
