SFM Vs. RPM - A quick explanation from the Machining Doctor

📹 In this video, we explore the difference between RPM and SFM and teach you how to convert from one to the other. RPM stands for "Revolutions Per Minute" and is used to measure the spindle speed of a CNC machine, while SFM stands for "Surface Feet Per Minute" and is the common unit used to measure cutting speed in the United States. 🔍 Understanding how to convert between these two units is essential for programming CNC machines and ensuring that your cutting speed is within the machine's limit. In this video, we cover the basics of RPM and SFM, explain how to convert between them, and provide helpful resources to make the conversion process easier. 🤖 So if you're interested in learning more about RPM and SFM, be sure to check out this video.
