Outputs can be wrong
Tools for Machining provides mathematical estimates for convenience. Software defects, ambiguous units, incorrect inputs, rounding, browser behavior, incomplete formulas, and misunderstood assumptions can produce incorrect or unsuitable results. Independently verify every important result.
Machining involves serious risk
Incorrect speeds, feeds, coordinates, dimensions, tooling, workholding, coolant handling, or tolerances can damage equipment and parts, create projectiles, expose people to hazardous substances, or cause serious injury. Use trained personnel, guards, PPE, machine manuals, tool-maker limits, material data, simulation, dry runs, and safe operating procedures.
Tool-specific limits
- Speed, feed, and removal-rate outputs do not evaluate machine power, torque, dynamics, balance, rigidity, chip evacuation, or workholding.
- Thread and tap-drill outputs do not establish thread identity, class, conformance, forming-tap requirements, or a certified drill selection.
- Coordinate and chamfer outputs assume ideal geometry and conventional axes; they are not verified CNC programs.
- Tolerance RSS output is not a guaranteed boundary and requires a justified statistical model.
- Surface-finish output is ideal geometry, not a measurement or acceptance result.
- Coolant output is a volume balance, not chemical, health, environmental, or SDS guidance.
