ISO Material Groups

When determining feeds and speeds for a given manufacturer’s tool, you need to know what material it is being used for. This is where ISO standards come into play. Typically we work in P (Steel) and N (Non-Ferrous, Aluminum). You will then select your material number based on the alloy you are using and its material properties.

Once you know your material group, you need to figure out what type of tool you have.
