Sheet 10 Engineering tools

Do the maths before you ask

Four tools we use daily when preparing a job — material mass, ISO 286 fits, cutting parameters and hardness conversion. Use them yourself.

Tool A-01 When to use it

Material mass

Estimate the mass of stock or a finished blank before ordering material and when checking transport.

OUT
Tool A-02 When to use it

ISO 286 tolerances and fits

Check deviations and fit type when the drawing gives only the class designation, with no limits written in.

OUT
Tool A-03 When to use it

Cutting parameters

Quick spindle speed and feed check when preparing a program or verifying cycle time.

A starting value, not a guarantee. The final regime depends on the machine, clamping, tooling and system rigidity.

OUT
Tool A-04 When to use it

Hardness converter

When the drawing calls for one scale and the inspection report gives another — HRC, HV and HB for steel, with indicative tensile strength.

OUT

Values are indicative and meant for job preparation. The technical drawing, the applicable standard and your own verification always take precedence.

Send the drawing, get a quote.

We review the documentation, check feasibility and come back with price and lead time — usually within two working days.
