    Metric units and formulas for machining?

    Does anyone have a link to or page with the metric versions of machinist formulas?

    A link to an endmill manufacturer who lists their chip loads in a metric unit?

    I know SFM become S.M.M. = Surface Meters per Minute and feed is usually in millimeters per min. MM.P.M. = Feed (travel in millimeters per Minute) --- found one page which lists F.P.T. = Feed per Tooth (in millimeters) --- is that equivalent to C.L.P.T. (chipload per tooth)

    but not finding much else.

    I'm pretty sure FPT and CLPT are the same. The numbers make sense.

    Just about any of the downloadable chipload calculators will run either unit measure.
