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…

What are the key differences between a wood lathe and a metal lathe, and how can one effectively utilize both wood and metal on a lathe machine?

A wood lathe is designed for shaping wood, while a metal lathe is used for shaping metal. The key differences lie in the materials they are meant to work with and the cutting tools used. To effectively utilize both wood and metal on a lathe machine, it is important to adjust the speed, cutting tools, and techniques based on the material being worked on. Additionally, using appropriate safety measures and understanding the properties of each material is crucial for successful lathe work.
