RPM = vc x 12
3.14 x D
RPM (rev/minute)
or RPM = (3.8197 / D) x SFM

vc = RPM x 3.14 x D
Cutting 12
(ft/min)
Speed
or SFM = 0.2618 x D x RPM

Feed f = Feed per revolution (IPR) (inch/rev)


vf = IPR x RPM (inch/min)
Rate
h = Distance from drill point to workpiece
Cross-section before feeding (inch)
AT = 3.14 x R2 (in2)
area of hole
kc = Specific cutting force (Lbf/inch2)

Material L = Depth of hole (inch)


Q = vf x AT (inch3/min)
Removal Rate
= Machine efficiency (%)

Power Pc = D/4 x f x vc x kc (Hp)


D = Tool diameter (inch)
Requirement 33,000 x

Torque Mc = Hp x 5252 (ft/lbs)
