Material Removal Rate (MRR) Calculator







 

 

 

 


How This Is Calculated



$$ MRR = v_c \cdot f \cdot d $$ where:

MRR   =   Material removal rate   (mm³/s)

vc   =   Cutting speed   (mm/s)

f   =   Feed rate   (mm/rev)

d   =   Depth of cut   (mm)


Assumptions



  • Effects of friction are negligible.
  • Material properties remain constant.
  • Chip formation is uniform.
  • Cutting speed and feed rate remain constant throughout the process.
