This is a table relating surface speed of the tool
bit to spindle RPM.
This table uses the available spindle speeds of the
Atlas 12" lathe.
Each tool bit type has a preferred
surface speed for each type of material machined. Look up the required
speed and then use the chart below to determine the closest spindle speed
to be used.
