Companion toolA medical device manufacturer was turning 17-4 PH stainless steel on a CNC lathe with a carbide insert. They were running at 1,200 RPM with a 12mm diameter workpiece — giving a surface speed of approximately 45 m/min. Inserts were failing after 80 parts, with edge chipping and built-up edge formation. Using this calculator, they determined the correct surface speed should be 120 m/min for that material. By adjusting RPM to 3,200 (and verifying with our Geschwindigkeits- und Vorschubrechner), tool life increased to over 350 parts per edge — a 4× improvement. The annual savings on insert costs alone exceeded $12,000.
Surface speed — measured in SFM (Surface Feet per Minute, imperial) or Vc (meters per minute, metric) — is the linear velocity at which the cutting edge passes through the material. It is the single most important parameter in machining because it directly determines cutting temperature, tool wear rate, and surface integrity.
Imperial (SFM): SFM = (π × D × RPM) ÷ 12
Metric (Vc): Vc (m/min) = (π × D × RPM) ÷ 1000

The relationship between SFM and Oberflächenrauheit is often misunderstood. At higher surface speeds, the chip load per tooth must be maintained within the recommended range — otherwise the tool rubs instead of shearing, generating excessive heat regardless of SFM. This is why a proper speeds-and-feeds calculation requires both surface speed AND chip load optimization. Use the Spanabtragskalkulator after setting your SFM to verify the feed per tooth is adequate.
Kleiner Durchmesser (6mm End mühle):800 SFM → ~ 12.000 U/min
Zeichen, dass Ihre Oberflächen geschwindigkeit falsch ist
Too fast: Rapid flank wear, plastic deformation of the cutting edge, built-up edge, chatter, discolored chips (blue/purple), poor surface finish.
Too slow: BUE formation, high cutting forces, poor chip control, chatter, smearing on the workpiece surface, reduced productivity.
When in doubt, consult the Geschwindigkeits- und Vorschubrechner which incorporates material-specific SFM ranges for carbide end mills.
What is SFM in machining? SFM (Surface Feet per Minute) is the linear speed at which a cutting tool edge travels through the workpiece material. It determines cutting temperature, tool life, and surface finish.
How do I calculate SFM from RPM? Multiply π by the diameter in inches and RPM, then divide by 12: SFM = (π × D × RPM) ÷ 12. Use this calculator for instant results.
What SFM should I use for carbide end mills in stainless steel? For stainless 304, use 250-400 SFM for roughing, 300-500 SFM for finishing. Lower end for heavier cuts, higher end for finishing passes.
The difference between SFM and RPM? SFM is cutting speed through material (process parameter). RPM is spindle rotation speed (machine parameter). RPM = (SFM × 12) ÷ (π × D).
Does workpiece hardness affect surface speed? Yes — harder materials require lower SFM. As a rule of thumb, reduce SFM by 20% for every 10 HRC increase above 35 HRC. Higher hardness also increases cutting forces, which must be accounted for in the Kosten pro Teil.
Should I use coolant or dry at high SFM? At high SFM (above 600 SFM in steel), coolant is essential to manage thermal shock. With carbide tools, intermittent coolant application can cause micro-cracking. Use consistent flood or through-spindle coolant when running above 500 SFM.
