Shear Plane Angle evaluator uses Shear Angle Metal = arctan((Chip Ratio*cos(Rake Angle))/(1-Chip Ratio*sin(Rake Angle))) to evaluate the Shear Angle Metal, The shear plane angle is the angle of inclination of the assumed shear plane from the cutting velocity vector, as measured on orthogonal plane. Shear Angle Metal is denoted by ϕ symbol.
