Machining calculator apps: calculate cut settings based on job parameters The Machining calculator apps are designed to help engineers and operators optimize the performance of their turning, milling, drilling and tapping applications by calculating optimal cut settings based on job parameters. The apps also highlight how small adjustments of parameters can have a big impact on the overall results.
Trig Solver
This application calculates unknown sides and angles of both regular and right triangles. It supports various input combinations, including two sides and an angle, two angles and a side, three sides, or two sides and an angle for right triangles.
- Regular triangle solver
- Right triangle solver
- Calculate with 2 sides and an angle
- Calculate with 2 angles and a side
- Calculate with 3 sides
- Calculate with side and angle (right triangle)
