How to use this tool

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

Try this example

{
  "width": 10,
  "depth": 2,
  "feed": 500,
  "specific": 1500,
  "rpm": 2000
}

Accuracy and scope

Supplied specific cutting force is an approximation; ignores size effects, runout, chatter and drivetrain losses. Educational engineering estimate only; not structural or safety certification, equipment selection, or operating recommendations.
