Recommended Speeds and Feeds
The following information is based on our High Speed Steel M-42 Finisher 30/06 Springfield. Depending on the length and diameter of the reamer, you might need to go higher or lower because it can affect surface speed.
150-300 RPM, feed rate of .004 to .006 per revolution, is a starting window. Be sure to use a good quality cutting fluid or coolant to keep the reamer free of chips.
