Cutting Speed

Cutting speed is the linear speed at which a cutting tool, such as a band saw blade or mill drill bit, moves through the material being cut. Cutting speed is typically measured in surface feet per minute (SFM) or meters per minute (M/min). The optimal cutting speed depends on factors like material properties, tool geometry, and cutting conditions. Proper cutting speed is crucial for efficient material removal, maintaining cutting accuracy, and extending tool life.
