Introducing the Milling Feeds and Speeds Cookbook

We’ve had the idea of a “Cookbook” with “Recipes” here for a long time. You can click the Cookbook tab over on the left and see our various recipe articles. Simple put, they’re reference information that’s been gathered up about some particular subject. One of our most popular recipe articles (over 3000 visitors last month) has been our Milling Surface Finish page. There’s a tremendous amount of useful information there, but it isn’t all that well organized and I have a ton of material to add to it. Since it won’t all fit on a single page, I decided to drop back and do a special Cookbook dedicated to milling feeds and speeds and related information that has to do with maximizing material removal rates, surface finish, and tool life. This new section is called the Milling Feeds and Speeds Cookbook. Okay, we won’t win any awards for the name, but at least you have a pretty good idea what it’s about!

It isn’t all finished yet, but the Table of Contents and first four pages are now up. The rest will follow. We’ll publish some articles in the blog to try to drag you in along the way, such as the one below about Feeds and Speeds “Sweet Spots.”

Hope you get some benefit from it.
