RA · QUALITY
Surface finish (Ra)
Theoretical Ra from feed and nose radius, mapped to ISO N classes — or work backwards from a target Ra to the maximum feed you can run.
Cut
Target optional — computes the max feed for it
Formulas used
Ra = f² · 1000 / (32 · rε)Theoretical roughness from feed and nose radius (µm).
fmax = √(32 · rε · Ra / 1000)Maximum feed that can still reach the target Ra.
