Hi everyone,
It's probably a very newbie question here :wall: but...
I just bought a Craftex cx700 lathe after some times passed on a little Taig and I want to know how I can know the resulting feed speed of a setup since it's directly link with the motor (spindle) speed ? When I put full spindle speed (2200 rpm) to cut 1" steel round bar with carbide tool, the smallest resulting feed speed seems really too fast. Am I use too fast spindle for that stock, or are my carbide tools too fast for that kind of lathe? And how can I know what is really the resulting feed speed?
Thanks,
B-Train
