cuTTINg FEED
Cutting Feed is the distance the cutting tool or workpiece
advances during one revolution of the spindle, typically measured
in inches per revolution (IPR). You can calculate Cutting Feed
given values for Feed per Tooth (Chip Load) and Number of Teeth.
If these values are unknown, you can calculate Cutting Feed with
Feed Rate and RPM (Spindle Speed).
