What it means
How fast is that cut?
Pick the diameter of the rotating part: the tool on a mill or drill, the workpiece on a lathe. Speeds for materials are starting points; follow the tool maker’s data.
The math
How to convert m/min to SFM
To convert meters per minute to surface feet per minute, multiply by 3.28084.
Example: 500 m/min × 3.28084 = 1,640.42 SFM.
In the other direction, 1 SFM = 0.3048 m/min.
RPM figures on this page are for 10 mm. Pick another diameter above and they change.
