Feedrate Q+A: # Answer 1

The document discusses feedrate programming for CNC machines. It provides questions and answers about basic feedrate concepts such as typical feedrate units for metric and English programming on machining centers and lathes. Some factors that influence feedrate selection are tool geometry, material, spindle speed, desired surface finish, and machine tool capabilities. The feedrate override switch allows adjusting the programmed feedrate during operation and typically ranges from 50-150%.

13-01 Feedrate Q+A

Understanding the concepts of feedrate programming is equally important as understanding the spindle program-
ming. The objective of these questions is to review some basic programming issues associated with the feedrate
control on CNC machines.
