Starting points only, sourced from the manufacturers' own published data. Every machine differs: test in scrap, tune by ear. Neither ChipLoad nor the manufacturers are responsible for broken tools.
Published values, summarized per material and machine class. For the full CAM library (plunge, depth, stepover), download it from the manufacturer.
| Material | Machine class | RPM | Feed IPM | Chip load (in) | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MDF / Laminate | industrial | 18000 | 80.0 | 0.0023 | Amana spiral plunge chart at 18,000 RPM, depth of cut 1xD (reduce chip load 25% at 2xD, 50% at 3xD). Ramp-down rate as published. Amana: bits this small are not guaranteed against breakage; check every feed and speed. | Amana Tool |
| Wood / Plywood | industrial | 18000 | 40.0 | 0.0012 | ⚠ Amana spiral plunge chart at 18,000 RPM, depth of cut 1xD (reduce chip load 25% at 2xD, 50% at 3xD). Ramp-down rate as published. Amana: bits this small are not guaranteed against breakage; check every feed and speed. CHART INCONSISTENCY: printed 40 IPM vs 43 from chip load (RPM x flutes x chip load). Trust the chip load and recompute the feed. ⚠ Formula check: published feed 40.0 IPM vs RPM×flutes×chip load = 43.2 IPM (-7%) | Amana Tool |
