7. Speed regulation
7.1 Speed selection
The spindle speed is to be selected according to material type and the diameter of the work piece:
Small diameter
⇒
relatively high speed
Large diameter
⇒
low speed
The cutting speed is the result of rotational speed and diameter.
With a known and required cutting speed, the necessary spindle speed can be calculated in the
following way:
Example: An aluminium workpiece which has a diameter of 20 mm is to be turned
with a cutting speed of 100 m/min.
Now, from those speeds available, the one which is closest to the ideal
speed of 1592
1
/min. is selected (in our case 1600
1
/min.).

40 mm 800 100
60 mm 530 100
80 mm 400 100
100 mm 320 100
7.1.2 Speed setting for working with steel

10 mm 1600 50
20 mm 800 50

60 mm 270 50
80 mm 200 50
100 mm 160 50
