How to Calculate and Solve for Uncut Chips Thickness | Single Point Tools

Last Updated on March 5, 2021

The image above represents uncut chips thickness.

To compute for uncut chips thickness, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle (λ) and Feed (f).

The formula for calculating uncut chips thickness:

t = f sinλ

Where:

t = Uncut Chip Thickness
λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle
f = Feed

Let’s solve an example;
Find the uncut chips thickness when the restricted orthogonal cutting angle is 40 and the feed is 20.

This implies that;

λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle = 40
f = Feed = 20

t = f sinλ
t = 20 x sin40°
t = 20 x 0.64
t = 12.85

Therefore, the uncut chips thickness is 12.85 m.

Calculating the Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle when the Uncut Chips Thickness and the Feed is Given.

sin λ = t / f

Where;

λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle
t = Uncut Chip Thickness
f = Feed

Let’s solve an example;
Find the restricted orthogonal cutting angle when the uncut chips thickness is 32 and the feed is 12.

This implies that;

t = Uncut Chip Thickness = 32
f = Feed = 12

sin λ = t / f
sin λ = 32 / 12
sin λ = 2.67

Therefore, the restricted orthogonal cutting angle is 2.67.

Calculating the Feed when the Uncut Chips Thickness and the Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle is Given.

f = t / sinλ

Where;

f = Feed
t = Uncut Chip Thickness
λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle

Let’s solve an example;
Find the feed when the uncut chip thickness is 30 and the restricted orthogonal cutting angle is 6.

This implies that;

t = Uncut Chip Thickness = 30
λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle = 6

f = t / sinλ
f = 30 / sin 6
f = 30 / 0.094
f = 319.1

Therefore, the feed is 319.1.
