I have a not so good mill.
I am trying to make a silk purse out this pigs ear.

The power feed for this machine only has a knob to adjust feed.
There is no indication as to how many inches per minute.

Today I hooked up a digital tachometer to the feed screw.
I figured that one revolution on my feed screw = .100" so what ever the tach shows just divide by 10.

I checked it out and sure enough it pretty close.

24 RPM - 2 1/4"

Exactly what I'm going to put on my mill, if the parts ever get here
