Machining & welding

Cutting speeds and feeds, machined part cost, and welding parameters and consumables.

Speeds and feeds

Pick the operation, tool and ISO 513 material group to load typical cutting speed and feed; compute spindle speed, table feed, removal rate, Kienzle specific cutting force, cutting and motor power, torque and cutting time, checked against machine power.

RPM, feed, power

Machined part cost

Build the quote for a machined part: blank weight from shape and material, chip credit, operation list with cycle time, hour rate and setup spread over the batch, tooling, outside services, scrap, overhead and margin worked out on price.

stock, hours, setup, price

Welding cost and filler

Pick the process (stick, MIG/MAG, flux-cored, TIG or submerged arc) and the joint (fillet, single-V, double-V or square) to get weld cross-section, deposited metal, filler from deposition efficiency, welder hours, gas, energy, cost per foot and heat input.
