To calculate the Material Removal Rate (MRR), multiply the Radial Depth of Cut (RDOC), Axial Depth of Cut (ADOC), and Feed Rate (FR). This provides the rate of material removal in cubic units per minute.
The Material Removal Rate Calculator is a valuable tool for machining processes like milling, drilling, and grinding. MRR measures the volume of material removed from a workpiece in a specific period, helping optimize machining efficiency and tool selection.

Solved Calculations
Example 1: Calculate MRR for a milling operation with mm, mm, and mm/min.
Step | Value |
---|---|
RDOC | 2 mm |
ADOC | 3 mm |
Feed Rate (FR) | 150 mm/min |
MRR | mm³/min |
Example 2: Determine MRR for a drilling operation with inches, inches, and inches/min.
Step | Value |
---|---|
RDOC | 0.1 inches |
ADOC | 0.5 inches |
Feed Rate (FR) | 50 inches/min |
MRR | in³/min |
