How is machine time cost calculated?

Determining Basic Cost

At the simplest level, a machine's cost per hour is equal to its total cost minus its eventual salvage value divided by its total expected life. A machine that costs $25,000 and is expected to last for 17,000 hours before being sold as scrap for $1,500 would cost $1.38 per hour to use.

How much does a 5 axis CNC cost?

How do you calculate cutting feed rate?

Using the equation, rpm = sfm ÷ diameter × 3.82 = 350 ÷ 1.0 × 3.82 = 1,337, the feed rate = rpm × no. of flutes × chip load = 1,337 × 4 × 0.005 = 26.74 ipm.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of CNC?
