Speeds & Feeds FAQ

What is Feed per Tooth?
Feed per Tooth is the amount of material being removed by each flute of the cutting tool per revolution. Feed per tooth is also known as Chip per Tooth, Chipload, IPT (“Inch per Tooth”) and is abbreviated as fz
Gauge Length is the dimension from the “Gauge Line” of a spindle (often near, but not exactly equal to, the spindle face) to the tip of a cutting tool.
Stickout is the distance the cutting tool sticks out from the tool holder or collet. Tool Stickout has a significant affect on rigidity which can materially change Speeds & Feeds recipes.
Although peck drilling CAN help break and evacuate chips, the drill cutting edges wear each time the drill contacts the material. Since this occurs multiple times per hole, peck drilling will reduce tool life.
