Component Calculations

Calculations for cutting forces, the spindle, and feed axes. All of these are preliminary estimates and unverified on the actual machine. For the rigidity of the entire machine, see the Structural Analysis Calculation Sheet.

• Cutting Force Calculations
• Spindle Drive and Tool Release Calculations
• Spindle Pulley Strength Calculations
• Feed Axis Calculations

Things Not Yet Calculated

• Actual rigidity and lifespan of the guides.
• Motor torque at 600 rpm (haven't obtained the torque curve yet).
• Spindle bearing load capacity.
