Length of Approach for Drilling Operation Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Length of Approach for Drilling Operation?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

A = 0.5 \cdot D \cdot \cot (\frac{θ}{2})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

A = 0.5 \cdot 60.3553mm \cdot \cot (\frac{135°}{2})

Next Step Convert Units

∴

A = 0.5 \cdot 0.0604m \cdot \cot (\frac{2.3562rad}{2})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

A = 0.5 \cdot 0.0604 \cdot \cot (\frac{2.3562}{2})

Next Step Evaluate

∴

A = 0.0124999919105563m

Next Step Convert to Output's Unit

∴

A = 12.4999919105563mm

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

A = 12.5mm

Variables

Functions

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.

Formulas to find Approach Distance

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.

Formulas to find Diameter of Drill Bit

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.

Formulas to find Drill Point Angle

cot

Cotangent is a trigonometric function that is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle.

Syntax: cot(Angle)

How to Evaluate Length of Approach for Drilling Operation?

Length of Approach for Drilling Operation evaluator uses Approach Distance = 0.5*Diameter of Drill Bit*cot(Drill Point Angle/2) to evaluate the Approach Distance, The Length of Approach for Drilling Operation is the required length the drill needs to move to achieve maximum engagement since the beginning of Tool-Workpiece contact. It's essentially the "dead travel" of the drill bit before it engages with the material. It plays a crucial role in several aspects of drilling such as - clearance of chips, Tool clearance, rapid entry etc. Approach Distance is denoted by A symbol.

How to evaluate Length of Approach for Drilling Operation using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Length of Approach for Drilling Operation, enter Diameter of Drill Bit (D) & Drill Point Angle (θ) and hit the calculate button.
