  2. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

  3. Surface feet per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_feet_per_minute

    SFM is a combination of diameter and the velocity (RPM) of the material measured in feet-per-minute as the spindle of a milling machine or lathe. 1 SFM equals 0.00508 surface meter per second (meter per second, or m/s, is the SI unit of speed). The faster the spindle turns, and/or the larger the diameter, the higher the SFM.

  4. Revolutions per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute

    1 / 60 ⁠ Hz = 0.01 6 Hz. SI base units. 0.01 6 s −1. Revolutions per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, rev/min, r/min, or r⋅min−1) is a unit of rotational speed (or rotational frequency) for rotating machines. One revolution per minute is equivalent to ⁠ 1 60 ⁠ hertz.

  5. DN factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DN_Factor

    DN factor. DN factor, also called DN Value, is a number that is used to determine the correct base oil viscosity for the lubrication of various types of bearings. [1][2][3][4][5] It can also be used to determine if a bearing is the correct choice for use in a given application. [3] It is a product of bearing diameter (D) and speed (N). [1][2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive...

    The spindle motor speed can use one of two types of disk rotation methods: 1) constant linear velocity (CLV), used mainly in optical storage, varies the rotational speed of the optical disc depending upon the position of the head, and 2) constant angular velocity (CAV), used in HDDs, standard FDDs, a few optical disc systems, and vinyl audio ...

  7. Countersink - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersink

    With a variable-speed handheld power drill, the trigger is best squeezed lightly to yield a low spindle speed. Good chatter-free results can usually be had by countersinking by hand (as opposed to running the tool in a powered spindle). The slow speed and sensitive feed tend to prevent chatter.

  8. Numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

    A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. It is used to operate tools such as drills, lathes, mills, grinders, routers and 3D printers. CNC transforms a piece of material (metal, plastic, wood, ceramic, stone ...

  9. Spindle (tool) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spindle_(tool)

    A main component of this spindle is the motor, stored internally. Internal Motor: limited power and torque due to restricted space within the spindle housing; Speed Range: 20,000 [3]-60,000 RPM [2] (top speed according to design) Advantage: high top speed expands application use; Disadvantage: sensitive life range according to use
