Volumill Cutting Data | Swoosh Technologies

Feeds and Speeds Information for VoluMill:

Getting the best performance from VoluMill toolpaths requires using more aggressive machining parameters than you may be used to. In the table below, you will find a series of parameters used in actual cutting tests performed by Celeritive Technologies, Inc., independent research facilities, and existing customers using VoluMill on a daily basis in their shops. No two machining environments are exactly alike, so you may need to adjust your parameters accordingly, but these numbers have worked well for others.

The parameters in the table below are in INCH units. If you would like to see the equivalent settings in metric units, please click the button:

NOTE: Parameters that have been converted from their original units are shown in blue italics.
