How to use Harvey Tool's Speeds & Feeds

1. EVERYTHING
you need is in our
SPEEDS
FEEDS!&

2. OurSpeeds&FeedsCanHelpYou...
Whether you’re slotting, roughing, or
finishing, our calculations account for
the exact material and application
that you’re using. By increasing tool
life and minimizing damage, our Speeds
& Feeds can help you lower overall
production costs.
Lower Production Costs.
Forget about trial and error—you can get
the most out of every tool you order from
us with our recommended Speeds & Feeds
parameters, designed to decrease breakage
and maximize tool life.
Increase Tool Life.
Take the guesswork out of finding that
“sweet spot” and run your tool with
confidence by taking into account all of your
machining variables, from chip loads and
depths of cut to tool paths and SFM.
Minimize Damage.
$$ $
You can find all the running parameters
you need to machine with your purchased
tool, whether it’s a miniature size or a larger
diameter. With every calculation at your
disposal, you don’t have to waste time
interpolating your own rates from
generalized machining guidelines.
Save Time.

Speeds & Feeds
All posted speed and feed parameters are suggested starting values that may be increased given optimal
setup conditions. Chip loads reflect uncoated cutters and may be increased 10%-20% if coated. For ferrous
materials with hardness ≤ 28 Rc, chip loads can be increased 10%-20%.

through even the most challenging applications. Please contact us at 800-645-5609 or

WARNING: Cutting tools may shatter under improper use. Government regulations require use of safety glasses and other
appropriate safety equipment in the vicinity of use.
General Notes:
Milling - Presented data reflects slotting application using OD of cutter up to .5x Dia Axial DOC
- Use OD of cutter for Chip Load selection and RPM calculation
- If Axial DOC exceeds .5x Dia, Chip Load and/or Radial DOC must be reduced
Chamfering - Presented data reflects full chamfer engagement on one side of workpiece
- Due to a varying tip diameter, an Effective Cutter Diameter is needed for Chip Load
selection and RPM calculation. Consider the major and minor diameters along the actual
contact length and average them: (Major Diameter + Minor Diameter)/2
- Depth of Cut is shown as number of Passes with each made using a descending stepover
- Feed rates may be increased (or number of passes decreased) when creating traditional
edge breaks
Drilling - Presented values are Chip Load per Tooth and not Chip Load per Rev
- Use OD for Chip Load selection and RPM calculation
- Since only 2 flutes are center cutting in 2 and 4 flute drill/mills, all drilling feed calulations
should be made using 2 Effective Flutes
- Depth of Cut not shown as it is not applicable
- Drilling is not recommended for tools with < 82° included point angle

Speeds & Feeds
All posted speed and feed parameters are suggested starting values that may be increased given optimal
setup conditions. Chip loads reflect uncoated cutters and may be increased 10%-20% if coated. For ferrous
materials with hardness ≤ 28 Rc, chip loads can be increased 10%-20%.
If you require additional information, Harvey Tool has a team of technical experts available to assist you
through even the most challenging applications. Please contact us at 800-645-5609 or

WARNING: Cutting tools may shatter under improper use. Government regulations require use of safety glasses and other
appropriate safety equipment in the vicinity of use.
General Notes:
Milling - Presented data reflects slotting application using OD of cutter up to .5x Dia Axial DOC
- Use OD of cutter for Chip Load selection and RPM calculation
- If Axial DOC exceeds .5x Dia, Chip Load and/or Radial DOC must be reduced
Chamfering - Presented data reflects full chamfer engagement on one side of workpiece
- Due to a varying tip diameter, an Effective Cutter Diameter is needed for Chip Load
selection and RPM calculation. Consider the major and minor diameters along the actual
contact length and average them: (Major Diameter + Minor Diameter)/2
- Depth of Cut is shown as number of Passes with each made using a descending stepover
- Feed rates may be increased (or number of passes decreased) when creating traditional
edge breaks
Drilling - Presented values are Chip Load per Tooth and not Chip Load per Rev
- Use OD for Chip Load selection and RPM calculation
- Since only 2 flutes are center cutting in 2 and 4 flute drill/mills, all drilling feed calulations
should be made using 2 Effective Flutes
- Depth of Cut not shown as it is not applicable
- Drilling is not recommended for tools with < 82° included point angle

Speeds & Feeds
All posted speed and feed parameters are suggested starting values that may be increased given optimal
setup conditions. Chip loads reflect uncoated cutters and may be increased 10%-20% if coated. For ferrous
materials with hardness ≤ 28 Rc, chip loads can be increased 10%-20%.

WARNING: Cutting tools may shatter under improper use. Government regulations require use of safety glasses and other
appropriate safety equipment in the vicinity of use.
General Notes:
Milling - Presented data reflects slotting application using OD of cutter up to .5x Dia Axial DOC
- Use OD of cutter for Chip Load selection and RPM calculation
- If Axial DOC exceeds .5x Dia, Chip Load and/or Radial DOC must be reduced
Chamfering - Presented data reflects full chamfer engagement on one side of workpiece
- Due to a varying tip diameter, an Effective Cutter Diameter is needed for Chip Load
selection and RPM calculation. Consider the major and minor diameters along the actual
contact length and average them: (Major Diameter + Minor Diameter)/2
- Depth of Cut is shown as number of Passes with each made using a descending stepover
- Feed rates may be increased (or number of passes decreased) when creating traditional
edge breaks
Drilling - Presented values are Chip Load per Tooth and not Chip Load per Rev
- Use OD for Chip Load selection and RPM calculation
- Since only 2 flutes are center cutting in 2 and 4 flute drill/mills, all drilling feed calulations
should be made using 2 Effective Flutes
- Depth of Cut not shown as it is not applicable
- Drilling is not recommended for tools with < 82° included point angle
