Method
Formula, when it applies, and when it does not
Calculate theoretical turning material-removal rate from a radial depth of cut, feed per revolution, and cutting speed.
MRR = ap·f·Vc
When
- Steady turning
- Constant entered depth
- Constant entered feed
- Theoretical removed volume
Don’t
- This is theoretical steady turning removal rate from user-entered depth, feed, and cutting speed. It excludes parameter selection, diameter variation, approach/retract, interruptions, insert geometry, tool wear, coolant, power, rigidity, chip control, machine limits, tolerance, surface integrity, and process qualification.
