CNC ROUTER TOOLING DATA
Look up workbook-backed spindle speed, feed rate and chip load starting points for Mantech tooling codes M001–M096.
M-CODE LOOKUP
Search by the M-code printed in the Mantech tooling range, or narrow the catalogue by cutter family, diameter and material. Every value shown is a starting point for a controlled test cut.

SAFE COMMISSIONING
A starter setting is a practical baseline for the first test cut. It is not a promise of finish, tool life or production performance because the complete machining setup changes the result.
Use the public Mantech identifier — for example M001 — and verify the cutter family, diameter and flute count before entering any values.
Choose the closest workbook material. “All” means the workbook provides one general starting value; it does not mean every grade or sheet construction behaves identically.
Use secure workholding and a suitable test piece. Set depth of cut, stepover, plunge and ramp values independently because they are not included in this workbook.
Check chip formation, edge quality, heat, noise and spindle load. Stop for burning, melting, chatter or unusual load, then change one parameter at a time.
BEFORE YOU CUT
The same M-code can behave differently as the machine, material and setup change. These factors must be checked separately.
No. They are starter settings for a controlled test cut. Production settings depend on the complete cutter, material, machine, workholding and extraction setup.
The M-code is the public Mantech tooling identifier used by this lookup. Use codes M001–M096 to distinguish cutters that may share a diameter or similar geometry.
No. The source workbook provides spindle RPM, feed rate and chip load. Depth of cut, stepover, plunge and ramp settings must be established separately for the machine and job.
It means the source workbook provides one general start point for that cutter rather than separate material rows. It does not remove the need for a material-specific test cut.
