KM Indexable Torque and Power

For Indexable Insert End Mill with KM Quick-Change Tooling

Unit:

Conversion of Workpiece Material Rockwell (Optional)

Skip this step if you already know the Brinell hardness number(HB)

Hardness HRB OR HRC into Brinell Hardness (HB)

Characteristics of Workpiece Materials

Brinell Hardness: HB

Ultimate strength: PSI N/mm 2

Note: Ultimate Strength shown for generic steel. Please enter the actual value of your workpiece material if available, for better accuracy You may look up this info through websites such as www.matweb.com

Calculate

Safe Operating Conditions

C_L Empirical coefficient for load:

F_max Maximum permissible load applied to KM joint: lb N

F_tmax Maximum permissible tangential force: lb N

C_T Empirical coefficient for torque:

T_max Maximum permissible torque applied to KM joint: ft lb Nm

T_p Maximum permissible actual torque: ft lb Nm

Calculated Machining Conditions

n Spindle speed: RPM

V_f Feed rate: (IPM)(no productivity formula) mm/min

Reduced feed per tooth: in (chip load at the cut) mm/min

F_p Feed rate: (IPM)(with productivity formula) mm/min

Q Metal removal rate: in.³/min MRR cm3/min³

A Cross-sectional area of chip: in.² mm²

Number of flutes in the cut:

Ratio of radial width of cut to cutting diameter:

Calculated Required Power

F_t Tangential cutting force: lbf should not exceed Ft max N

T Actual torque: ft-lb should not exceed Tp Nm

Machining Power

at the cutter: HPc kW

at the motor: hp kW
