Calculate tapping feed rate from thread pitch and spindle RPM. Use it to check rigid tapping programs and avoid pitch mismatch between spindle speed and Z-axis feed.
Let our engineers find the right factory for your specs. 100% Quality Guaranteed.
Request a Proposal →Confirm whether the control expects feed per minute or feed per revolution. A unit mismatch can break taps quickly.
Multiply thread pitch by spindle RPM. For example, 1.25 mm pitch at 600 RPM needs 750 mm/min feed.
If feed and spindle rotation are not synchronized, the tap is forced to cut the wrong pitch and may break.
Yes. Rigid tapping depends on accurate synchronization between spindle speed and Z-axis movement.
Use this page to confirm the Z-axis feed required for rigid tapping from thread pitch and spindle RPM.
