Turning Operations Calculator
Calculate RPM, machining time, MRR, and cutting force for turning operations from workpiece geometry and cutting conditions
Turning Operations Calculator
Results
N = 1000v/(πD) | Time = L/(f·N) | MRR = v·f·d×1000 | Fc = Kc·f·d | Power = Fc·v/60000
Kc is the specific cutting force (N/mm²) for the workpiece material.
