    speed and feed

    Does the speed and feed calculator on SurfCAM seem a little to agressive to anyone else but me?

    uneducated guess

    I really am not familliar with that app. If you do a search on ME Consultant on google, you may find it quite nice. I have enjoyed using it for a rule of thumb. Keep in mind, some of the newer calc programs for IPT/IPM are geared towards newer rigid equipment.

    Hope it helps, speeds and feeds seem to be the toughest for me to grasp.

    if you don't find it, send me a message, it's freeware.

    Just my view,
    Kenny
