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

{
  "depth": 0.02,
  "work": 10000,
  "wheel": 30,
  "width": 20
}

Accuracy and scope

Macroscopic kinematic measure, not individual abrasive-grain chip thickness or burn prediction. Educational engineering estimate only; not structural or safety certification, equipment selection, or operating recommendations.
