Enter the speed in meters per minute and the conversion factor into the calculator to determine the speed in surface feet per minute.

M/Min To Sfm Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the conversion from meters per minute (M/Min) to surface feet per minute (SFM).

SFM = M/Min * 3.28084

Variables:

  • SFM is the speed in surface feet per minute
  • M/Min is the speed in meters per minute3.28084 is the conversion factor from meters to feet

To calculate the speed in surface feet per minute, multiply the speed in meters per minute by the conversion factor 3.28084. This will give you the equivalent speed in surface feet per minute.

What is M/Min To Sfm?

M/Min to SFM is a conversion from meters per minute to surface feet per minute. These are both units of speed used in machining to denote the speed at which a cutting tool is moving across the surface of the material being cut. The conversion is often necessary because different machines and tools may use different units of measurement.

How to Calculate M/Min To Sfm?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Speed in Surface Feet per Minute (SFM) using the Meters per Minute (M/Min) value.


  1. First, determine the Meters per Minute (M/Min) value.
  2. Next, multiply the M/Min value by the conversion factor of 3.28084.
  3. Finally, calculate the Speed in Surface Feet per Minute (SFM).
  4. After inserting the M/Min value and performing the calculation, check your answer with the calculator above.
