How to Use This Calculator
- Enter total cutting toolpath length (mm or in), average feed rate (mm/min or IPM), and number of passes.
- Set total rapid traverse distance, rapid speed, and number of tool changes.
- Enter any additional fixturing or inspection delays.
- Review total cycle time, cutting time percentage, and parts per hour output.
- Use parts-per-hour to validate your production rate against customer demand.
