Inclination Angle Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Inclination Angle
Inclination Angle is the angle of inclination of the tool’s principal cutting edge from the reference plane and measured on the cutting plane.
Symbol: 𝒊
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Back Rake Angle
The Back Rake Angle or Top Rake Angle is the angle between the face of the tool and a line parallel to the base of the tool and measured in a plane (perpendicular) through the side cutting edge.
Symbol: αb
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Approach or Entering Angle
The Approach or Entering Angle is the angle between a plane perpendicular to the cutter axis and a plane tangent to the surface of the revolution of the cutting edges.
Symbol: λ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Side Rake Angle of Tool
The Side Rake Angle of Tool is an angle between the tool face and a line parallel to the base of the tool and measured in a plane perpendicular to the base at the side cutting edge.
Symbol: αsr
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
sin
Sine is a trigonometric function that describes the ratio of the length of the opposite side of a right triangle to the length of the hypotenuse.
Syntax: sin(Angle)
cos
Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Syntax: cos(Angle)
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)
