Join Harvey Performance Company National Applications Engineer Don Grandt in the 10th episode of In the Loupe TV: Utilizing Surface Feet (SFM) in Your CNC Applications.
In this episode of In the Loupe TV, join the "Cutting Tool Counselor," Don Grandt, as he dives into a commonly misunderstood cutting tool topic, Surface Feet Per Minute (SFM).

With all the things that take into play, Harvey Tool seems to be picking up the ball. This was explained very well.

thanks

wow that is awesome meaty stuff! Thank you!

[@keithhansen3963]

Excellent tutorial, well done!

[@dongrandt372]

Thanks Keith.

Thanks for this wonderful session...

[@dongrandt372]

Thanks for Watching!

Good stuff. Almost 90% of the parts I make are Aluminum. But those 10% other alloy parts can be hard on tools if we don't pay attention to the suggested machining parameters.

[@dongrandt372]

Couldn't agree more Kevin. They like to push heat!!

Don, this was a great episode. Loved the intro as well! One thing that I think could be improved in future episodes is an upgrade to your microphone. Everything you say is audible but there's quite a bit of distortion and I think that there's many better options than what you're using at the moment. Overall, great video again and I'm looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for the feedback. I’m using the following plug and play system, LARKBIRD Dual Wireless Lavaliere. This plugs directly into my IPhone. Would love to hear your suggestion for best quality. Thanks for your reply!

we need a gooder gash for the helical line of endmills.

Very nice and understandable vid clip!

Nice

Thank you for the video. I am struggling with a new low HP machine, when I reduce SFM I increase vibration for some reason and am chipping my cutters, but if I increase sfm to 460 I at least have a consistent, but rapid wear. Cutting 304 SS.

[@CuttingtoolCounselor]

Does your chip load stay the same?

[@MK-tu1zh]

@@CuttingtoolCounselor Yes. I get an excessive vibration error in the middle of a linear cut. I can fix it by increasing my SFM and increasing the IPM to keep the same chip load. For some reason it hates 300 SFM in stainless.

That works as well!!
