What to enter
| Input | Meaning and units |
|---|---|
| Radial engagement (mm) | Enter radial engagement in mm; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Axial depth (mm) | Enter axial depth in mm; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
| Feed rate (mm/min) | Enter feed rate in mm/min; use the same basis as the other measurements. |
Understanding your result
Read Material removal rate (cm³/min) in the units and model stated on this page. The formula removal=width*depth*feed/1000 defines the relationship; measurement accuracy and model applicability are separate from numerical precision.
Common mistakes
- Mixing input units or changing the physical meaning of a variable without changing the model.
Check your calculation
- Use the worked example as a known reference case, then change one input at a time and check the direction and units of the response.
