Obviously it would depend on the stainless grade because stainless is an alloy, so the speed rate would differ slightly depending on your grade.
The most important factor would be the type of cutter you use, if you are using Carbide cutting tools, with sufficient coolant you can run it at about 90-110 m/p/m (90 to 100 meters per minute)
If you using high speed steel cutters run it no more than about 30m/p/m.
My best advice to you is to ask for the manufactures recommendations they will give you a limit to work in, always start between lowest and middle of manufactures speed recomendations and then work your way up in speed if necessary. If your speed is correct you get a better finish and longer toolife.
Remember that if you run tools at higher speeds you decrease their life, the time taken to cut the material is determined by the feed-rate and not the speed, even on a lathe which has feed set to federate per revolution will only differ slightly.
Hope this helps…

∙ 12y agoThe cutting speed of a lathe is the speed at which the saddle or cross slide travels when machining a workpiece.
The cutting speed is selected by levers located on the side of the head stock and range from very slow to very high speeds.

∙ 7y agoCutting speed is the peripheral speed of a rotating job at the point where tool is passing while machining. The unit of cutting speed is Meters/minute. For a particular dia the cutting speed is calculated as πDN/1000, where D is in mm, N in RPM. For a constant cutting speed when diameter of cutting decreases then RPM increases. Constant surface speed or constant cutting speed is possible in CNC machine only.
Where as cutting feed is the advancement of tool in a job while cutting. The unit of feed rate can be mentioned in two ways either in mm/revolution or in mm/minute.
