Vortex Tool Co., Inc. has created the Vortex Tool Selection App to make it easy for CNC router operators to select the right tool for their particular cutting application. The app simply requires you to answer a few questions. It will suggest the right tool and give the RPM and feed rate for the tool. The app includes many calculators that can help you calculate variables like chip load, rpm and feed rate.
Selection criteria for tools:
Type of material
– Spindle horsepower
– Tool diameter required
Material thickness
Type of cut (through, dado, or both)
Calculators for feed rate, rpm, and chip load. Includes metric conversion.
