Attach the
machine body
with one draw
bolt. The machine
may be removed
and replaced
if necessary,
without disturbing
the alignment.

Calculating RPM
Calculating Machining Time
12 x SFPM (Surface Feet per Minute)
π x Diameter
1000 x SMPM (Surface Meters per Minute)
π x Diameter
Example 1 (Inch):
12 x 75 SFPM = 3.141 (π) x 13.38 inch dia. x ? (RPM)
900 = 42.03 x ? (RPM)
900 π 42.03 = 21RPM
Example 2 (Metric):
1000 x 23 SMPM = 3.141 (π) x 340 mm dia x ? (RPM)
23000 = 1067.94 x ? (RPM)
23000 π 1067.94 = 21.5 RPM
Length of cut ((OD - ID) / 2)
RPM x Feed
Example (Inch):
Length of Cut:
2.75 inches
Inches / Minute: 0.01 inches
Revolutions / Minute: 21 RPM
Machining Time = 13 minutes / pass
Example (Metric):
Length of Cut:
70 mm
mm / minute:
0.25 mm
Revolutions / minute: 21.5 RPM
Machining Time = 13 minutes / pass
