Including imput

Motor HP (if possible)
Material
Cutter Flutes
Type of cutter
Cutter diameter
Cutter Material

Output

Spindle Rate and Feed
Feed per tooth

I have tried making a calculator for this but i found there are to many variables that can change how fast you can actually go. big one being is the tool sharp. For the machines we have at my school I just remember which feeds to use. If you found me a resource for how to get it then i could probably do it but myself i do not know how.
