Machining

Machining time

In short

Cutting time for turning, facing at constant Vc, drilling and milling, per part and per batch. Example with the default values: Time per part = 0 min 37 s.

Calculation

Example calculated with the tool’s default values.

Worked example

Every value in this section belongs to the example, calculated with the tool’s default values.

Other results of the example

Time for 1 part
0 min 37 s
Cutting time per pass
36.6 s
Feed rate Vf
200 mm/min
Tool travel
122.0 mm

Step-by-step calculation

  1. Feed rate

    Vf = f · N

    0.200 × 1000 = 200.0 mm/min

  2. Cutting time

    t = (L + approche) / Vf

    122.0 / 200.0 = 0.610 min

  3. Time per part

    t × passes + non-cutting

    0.610 × 1 + 0.00 = 0.61 min
