Quickgrind vs CNC Speeds & Feeds Calculator

The Quickgrind App gives you fast and convenient access to our full range of standard and bespoke carbide tooling including Endmills, Barrel Cutters, High Feed Endmills, Drills and Form Tools. The detailed product pages will help you select the right tool for your application. All our standard products include PDF, STP & DXF digital downloads. The Advanced Milling Calculator steps through material, application and product selection to provide the user with reliable application specific cutting data. The Milling Calculator supports a wide range of ISO materials and milling applications. Cutting data reports can be generated and easily shared or saved. Infinite Possibilities - Don’t limit yourself to standard ranges. All our tools can be designed specifically for your application. Use the integral form to send us your specification.

Speeds and feeds for CNC milling in one tap: pick a material and HSS or carbide, and the spindle RPM and feed rate appear straight away. Tap drill, bolt circle, taper and turning surface finish sit alongside, so the numbers a machinist reaches for all day are in one shop app that works offline, in inches or millimetres. ▶ SPEEDS & FEEDS • 8 workpiece materials: aluminum, brass, mild steel, alloy steel, stainless 304, cast iron, titanium and plastic • HSS or carbide tooling, with the starting cutting speed shown in SFM or m/min • Enter tool diameter, flute count and chip load (feed per tooth) to read spindle RPM and table feed in in/min or mm/min • Leave a field blank and the app fills in a starting value: a 10 mm (0.375 in) tool, 4 flutes and a suggested chip load kept at or below a published carbide end-mill slotting chart, so you see a result the moment you open it. Type your own numbers and they replace the suggestions • End-mill diagram shows the flute count and chip load per tooth for the setup on screen • Save up to 50 named presets and reload a whole setup in one tap ▶ TAP DRILL • Metric (20 sizes) and Unified UNC/UNF (33 sizes) threads • Thread engagement from 50% to 85% in 5% steps, 75% as the shop default • Theoretical tap-drill size plus the nearest standard drill ▶ BOLT CIRCLE • Hole count, circle diameter, start angle and centre X/Y give the X/Y coordinates of every hole, drawn to scale • Tap a row to copy its coordinates, or copy the whole table for the control ▶ TAPER & TURNING • Taper from two diameters and a length, or from an included angle, taper per foot or a 1:N ratio: compound-rest half-angle, included angle, taper per foot and per inch, in decimal degrees and degrees-minutes-seconds • Turning surface finish: theoretical Ra and Rt from feed per rev and nose radius, or the maximum feed for a target Ra ▶ REFERENCE • Cutting speed table by material for HSS and carbide • Drill size chart with 243 number, letter, fractional and metric sizes, searchable • Thread pitch and minor diameters, drill point depth and typical surface-finish ranges All values are conservative starting points from published data, not guarantees. Always check against your tooling, machine and setup, start slow and increase.
