Turning Speed Chart

[undertaker]

Does anyone know of a chart that I could print off of metal turning speeds? I only use steel or aluminium. I used to have one years ago but it has since vanished!

Cheers

Never used a speed chart personally, (I prefer to rely on feel and resulting finish), but here's one:

Rough starting point

As usual can't remember who i should be crediting for origionally posting it but it covers various materials with HSS and gives rpm for a wide range of diameters too...

Again just a starting point depending on how things feel, sound etc
