Basic Engine Lathe: Cutting Speeds & Feeds for Lathe-Ferrous, Non-Ferrous Plastics is part three of the Basic Engine Lathe 14-part training series.

The course introduces students to the basics of calculating cutting speeds and feeds for machining ferrous, nonferrous, and plastics materials on the lathe. Calculating speeds and feeds requires the use of mathematics.

Course objectives include:

• Understand the safety procedures that are required in every machine shop as well as those involved with feeds, speeds, depth of cut, and tool selection on the lathe
• Identify the sources of information for finding formulas, cutting foot speeds, and tool selection for machining operations on the lathe
• Use appropriate formulas and charts to determine correct speeds and feeds for setting up a lathe to operate efficiently.
