How to Evaluate Machine Feed?

Machine Feed evaluator uses Feed = Uncut Chip Thickness/cos(Side Cutting Edge Angle) to evaluate the Feed, Machine feed, often simply referred to as "feed," is a crucial parameter in metal cutting operations. It represents the distance that the cutting tool advances into the workpiece for each revolution of the spindle or each cutting stroke. Feed is denoted by f symbol.

How to evaluate Machine Feed using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Machine Feed, enter Uncut Chip Thickness (t1) & Side Cutting Edge Angle (ψ) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Machine Feed

What is the formula to find Machine Feed?
The formula of Machine Feed is expressed as Feed = Uncut Chip Thickness/cos(Side Cutting Edge Angle). Here is an example- 0.01225 = 0.007/cos(0.9625508278).
How to calculate Machine Feed?
With Uncut Chip Thickness (t1) & Side Cutting Edge Angle (ψ) we can find Machine Feed using the formula - Feed = Uncut Chip Thickness/cos(Side Cutting Edge Angle). This formula also uses Cosine (cos) function(s).
Can the Machine Feed be negative?
No, the Machine Feed, measured in Feed cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Machine Feed?
Machine Feed is usually measured using the Meter Per Revolution[m/rev] for Feed. Millimeter Per Revolution[m/rev] are the few other units in which Machine Feed can be measured.
