A Quick Course in Feeds and Speeds, Part 1 (Theory)

I’m putting together a quick video course in feeds and speeds for machinists. Here is the first installment:

Part 1 takes you through some of the theory. It’s a 10 minute video that covers things like chip thinning, relationship of cutter edge radius to chip thickness for best tool life, ballnose cutter compensation, and a number of other topics associated with feeds and speeds. Part 2 (not yet ready), will be a demo of the G-Wizard Feeds and Speeds software that puts the theory into practice.
