For extra long drills the feed must be decreased.
Carbide inserts cutting speed.
All speeds and feeds listed here are provided for reference only.
All cutting tools have a recommended cutting speed for any given material.
Cemented carbide is a hard material used extensively as cutting tool material as well as other industrial applications it consists of fine particles of carbide cemented into a composite by a binder metal.
Mentions of carbide or tungsten carbide in industrial contexts.

For this article we ll use sfm to refer to cutting speed.
Milling operations remove material by feeding a workpiece into a rotating cutting tool with sharp teeth such as an end mill or face mill.
Cemented carbides commonly use tungsten carbide wc titanium carbide tic or tantalum carbide tac as the aggregate.
Sfm and feed for radial depth of cut use 0 25 x tool dia.
Use insert grades in the range of iso p20 p30.
For long and extra carbide reduce feed by 50.
Surface feet looks at the velocity of the cutting edges as they impact the workpiece.

Under unstable conditions a tougher carbide grade should be used for the centre position.
Turning speeds are adjusted to the feed rate of the mini lathe 0 004 rev a depth of cut of 0 040 and a tool life of 180 minutes.
The rate at which the carbide insert is presented to the workpiece is measured in surface feet per minute sfm or meters per minute m min.
Use higher sfm range.
Axial depth of cut ad axial depth of cut 1 5 x tool dia.
Softer metals like aluminum and mild steel have higher cutting speeds than do nasty metals like titanium or inconel.
Milling speed and feed calculator determine the spindle speed rpm and feed rate ipm for a milling operation as well as the cut time for a given cut length.
