CNC Machining Calculators

Free online calculators for material weight, cutting speed & feed rate, and drilling speed & feed. Engineered for CNC machinists, estimators, and procurement teams — no signup, no tracking, all math runs in your browser.

Material Weight Calculator

Calculate the theoretical weight of a raw stock or finished part from material grade, shape, and dimensions. Useful for quotation, shipping weight, and stock control.

Material Weight Calculator

Weight
Density
7.85 g/cm³
round: V = π × (W/2)² × L  |  square: V = W² × L
plate/sheet: V = L × W × T  |  tube/ring: V = π × ((W/2)² − (T/2)²) × L
hex: V = (3√3/2) × W² × L  |  angle: V = T × (W + (W − T)) × L
mass = volume × density

Cutting Speed & Feed Rate Calculator

Calculate recommended spindle speed, feed rate, material removal rate (MRR), and required spindle power for milling and turning operations.

Cutting Speed & Feed Rate Calculator

Spindle Speed N
Feed Rate vf
Material Removal Rate (MRR)
Spindle Power P
N = 1000 × Vc / (π × D)
vf = N × fz × z
MRR = ap × ae × vf
P = MRR × kc / (60 × 106 × η)

Drilling Speed & Feed Calculator

Calculate recommended spindle speed and feed rate for drilling operations. Selects recommended cutting speed automatically based on material and drill type.

CNC Calculator FAQ

Are these CNC calculators free to use?

Yes. All three calculators on this page are free, with no login or email required. They are provided by Robocon CNC, an ISO 9001:2015 certified precision machining company in Pune, India, to help engineers, designers, and machinists produce accurate quotations and machining parameters.

How accurate is the material weight calculator?

The material weight calculator uses standard published densities (g/cm³) for 14 common engineering materials. Accuracy is within approximately 2 to 5 percent of theoretical weight, which is sufficient for quotation, shipping, and stock control purposes. Actual part weight may vary slightly with alloy grade and surface finish.

Which materials are supported in the calculators?

Material weight: mild steel, stainless steel (304/316), aluminum 6061/7075, brass C360, copper C110, titanium grade 5, tungsten carbide, ABS, polycarbonate, POM (Delrin), PEEK, PTFE (Teflon), polypropylene, and acrylic. Cutting and drilling: aluminum, mild steel, tool steel, stainless steel, cast iron, brass, copper, and titanium.

What formulas do these calculators use?

Material weight: mass = volume × density, with volume derived from each shape (round bar V = π × r² × L; square bar V = a × b × L; plate V = L × W × T; sheet same as plate; tube V = π × (R² − r²) × L; ring V = π × (R² − r²) × h; hexagonal V = (3 × √3 / 2) × a² × L; angle V = thickness × (b + (h − t)) × length). Cutting speed: N = 1000 × Vc / (π × D); vf = N × fz × z. Drilling: same cutting-speed formula, with vf = N × fn.

Should I rely on these parameters for production runs?

These parameters are starting-point recommendations based on published cutting data. For production runs, especially in difficult-to-cut materials such as Inconel, titanium, or hardened tool steel, Robocon CNC recommends a test cut with the actual tool and fixture. Final parameters depend on machine rigidity, tool holder, coolant, and surface finish requirements.

Can Robocon CNC quote my parts based on these calculations?

Yes. Send your STEP or IGES file along with material grade, tolerances, surface finish, and required quantity to info@roboconcnc.com. Our engineers will validate the parameters and return a detailed quotation, typically within 24 to 48 hours.

Do the calculators work in metric and imperial units?

All three calculators are designed for metric input (mm, mm/min, m/min, kW). To convert from inches, multiply inches by 25.4. To convert feet per minute (SFM) to m/min, multiply by 0.3048. We are working on a unit-toggle option for future release.

What tolerances can Robocon CNC hold on machined parts?

Standard machining tolerance is plus or minus 0.1 mm. Tight tolerance machining is plus or minus 0.025 mm, and ultra-precision tolerance is plus or minus 0.005 mm on critical features. Tolerances are verified on our Zeiss CMM and Hexagon Global S Green 7.10.7 CMMs and reported in PDF inspection reports per ISO 9001:2015, AS9100, and EN 10204 3.1.
