Machining Calculators: Speeds, Feeds, and More

Cutting equations connect speed, feed, diameter, and force so shops can estimate spindle demand and process behavior before they cut metal.

Turning force calculations help estimate tangential, feed, and radial loads so shops can judge rigidity, horsepower, and chatter risk before dialing in the cut.

Tangential cutting force helps shops estimate torque, spindle load, and stability in milling. This guide explains what the force means and how to use it in setup decisions.

Professional machinists searching for technical assistance on the internet would do well to check out Machiningdoctor.com, a website launched in November 2020 by a mechanical engineer with more than 30 years in the industry. Erez Speiser, who spent much of his machining career working at Iscar headquarters in northern Israel, said he developed the Machiningdoctor.com website out of boredom during the COVID-19 pandemic.
