Drilling Formulas

Nomenclature and formulas


RPM n = vc 12 D (rev/min) f = Feed per revolution h = Distance from drill point to workpiece before feeding Cutting speed vc = nD 12 (ft/min) kc = Specific cutting force L = Depth of hole = Machine efficiency Feed speed vf = f n (inch/min) (inch/rev) (inch) (Lbf/inch2) (inch) (%)

Cross section area of the hole AT = R2 (in2)

Material removal rate Q= vf AT (inch3/min)

Power requirement Pc = D/4 f vc kc 33, 000 (Hp)

Torque Mc = Hp 5252 n (ft/lbs)

Feed force (approx.) Ff = .7 D/2 f kc (lbs)

Machining time Tc = L+h vf (Min/piece)
