Drill Point Angle for given Length of Approach Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Drill Point Angle
Drill Point Angle is the angle between the two cutting edges (lips) of a drill bit at its tip. This angle affects how aggressively the bit cuts and what materials it's suited for.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter of Drill Bit
Diameter of drill bit is essentially the straight distance across the widest part of the cutting edge (lips) of the drill bit. It determines the width of the hole it will create on workpiece.
Symbol: D
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Approach Distance
Approach Distance is the extra distance the drill travels before it starts cutting into the workpiece. It allows the tool to reach its cutting speed and position itself properly for an accurate hole.
Symbol: A
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
tan
The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle.
Syntax: tan(Angle)
atan
Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle.
Syntax: atan(Number)
