Walter Machining Calculator Helps the user to calculate machining time, power, torque, cutting force, metal removal rate and chip thickness in a variety of machining operations, like Shoulder-, Face- and Slot-Milling, Drilling, Boring, Turning and Grooving, Thread Tapping, -Forming and -Milling, by selecting the material to machine and entering different machining parameters. With the Savings Calculator the user can also compare existing tool with a new tool and calculate projected savings.
True Position
This app calculates the true position of holes based on engineering drawing dimensions and tolerances. It helps determine if hole positions meet required specifications, with or without Maximum Material Condition. It's a tool for manufacturing quality control.
- Calculate true position of holes
- Enter engineering drawing dimensions
- Account for specified tolerances
- Supports Maximum Material Condition
- Checks if hole positions are within tolerance

A calculator for finding the true position of holes. Enter the dimensions and tolerances from the engineering drawing. In manufacturing, this will help you to calculate whether the position of holes meet the required tolerance. Calculates results both with and without Maximum Material Condition. True position is the deviation from the theoretical location of the hole or feature as shown on the drawing. A True Position of 0.000 would mean the hole is exactly where it is supposed to be. A True Position of 0.010 means the hole is 0.010 off from where it is supposed to be. If that 0.010 is more than the tolerance given on the drawing then the true position of the hole is out of tolerance.
