I don't want to step on Dave's toes, but I think you are asking 'how long is a piece of string' with that one, and almost no-one could keep that much info brainstored, as there are too many variables.

So here is a quickie link that gives a short explanation of a few of the variables and answers most of your question.

But if you want to do a bit more research on it, type in 'machine feeds and speeds' into your favourite search engine.
In fact over the years, I have seen a lot of charts that can be downloaded or screengrabbed, then just get them printed up and laminated and keep them handy in your shop.

A lot of it is really down to experience plus a bit of trial and error.

Hope this helps.

John
