How to use this tool

  1. Enter every input in the labeled units; use measured or independently specified properties.
  2. Check the stated model assumptions before calculating.
  3. Interpret the output as a model estimate and verify it independently for the intended application.

Try this example

{
  "diameter": 10,
  "depth": 20,
  "angle": 118,
  "feed": 0.1,
  "rpm": 1000
}

Accuracy and scope

Through-hole travel idealization; excludes peck cycles, approach, breakthrough constraints and chip evacuation. Educational engineering estimate only; not structural or safety certification, equipment selection, or operating recommendations.
