Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Engaged cut width (mm)
10
Axial cut depth (mm)
2
Table feed (mm/min)
1000
Material removal rate (mm³/min)
20000
Material removal rate (cm³/min)
20

Try another scenario

Engaged cut width (mm)
2
Axial cut depth (mm)
1
Table feed (mm/min)
500
Material removal rate (mm³/min)

Calculation method

Calculation method

Material removal rate (mm³/min)

Engaged width × axial depth × table feed.

Material removal rate (cm³/min)

Divide mm³/min by 1000 to obtain cm³/min.

Symbols and units
a
Engaged cut width (mm)
b
Axial cut depth (mm)
c
Table feed (mm/min)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Constant rectangular engagement using supplied actual cutting width, depth and feed. No cutting-force, power, tool-life or safe-parameter prediction is made. Zero engagement or feed gives zero removal.
