User-entered empirical constants
Taylor tool-life relation
Inputs
Choose whether the entered independent condition is cutting speed or tool life.
User-entered empirical constant in the compatible units for V·Tⁿ; it is not derived here.
User-entered positive exponent from the same matched empirical data as C.
Used only in the solve-life mode; no cutting speed recommendation is made.

Method
Formula, when it applies, and when it does not
Solve a Taylor relation for one cutting speed or one tool-life duration without inferring applicability beyond the declared matched test data.
V·Tⁿ = C; T = (C/V)^(1/n)
When
- Declared Taylor constant and exponent
- Matched user-established test basis
- One stated cutting speed or life
- Empirical relation only
Don’t
- This solves only the user-entered empirical Taylor relation on the stated matched test basis. It does not select a tool or condition, derive C or n, account for feed/depth/coolant/material/coating/geometry, predict wear mechanisms, establish capability, or approve machining.
