I am trying to calculate the tool life for a part designed in SolidWorks and milled in SolidCAM.
What are the parameters and formulas that I must have to do this?
I have
- The part material (Mild Steel (CQ))
- Feed Per Tooth (what are the units for this one?)
- Surface cutting speed (m/min?)
Any help or "pointing in the right direction" appreciated.
Cheers
