Milling speeds and feeds charts the most important aspect of milling with carbide end mills is to run the tool at the proper rpm and feed rate.
Milling 316 stainless steel speeds and feeds.
Always use the speeds and feeds recommended from your tool manufacturer.
Endmill diameter inches.
Feed at suggested value.
For ad equal and above tool dia.
Reduce speed and feed by 30 when reamed hole size comes out too big.
Sfm 0 8 lowest range value.

Chipbreaker roughers would make an excellent choice in either 5 or 7 flute styles while standard 5 7 flute variable pitch end mills can also perform well in hem toolpaths.

Reaming is done at half the speed and twice the feed as drilling.
Sfm 0 8 x highest speed range.
We have broken these recommendations down into material categories so you can make better decisions with how to productively run your end mills.
This rule still applies on the drill press as it does on the milling machine or the lathe.
