How to Calculate and Solve for Width of Cut on Sheet Metal | Single Point Tools

The image above represents width of cut on sheet metal. To calculate width of cut on sheet metal, two essential parameters are needed, and these parameters are Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle (λ) and Depth of Cut (d).

The formula for calculating width of cut on sheet metal:

b = ^d / _sinλ

Where:

b = Width of Cut on Sheet metal
λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle
d = Depth of Cut

Let’s solve an example;
Find the width of cut on sheet metal when the restricted orthogonal cutting angle is 44 and the depth of cut is 11.

This implies that;

λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle = 44
d = Depth of Cut = 11

b = ^d / _sinλ
b = ¹¹ / _sin44°
That is, b = ¹¹ / _0.694
b = 15.83

Therefore, the width of cut on sheet metal is 15.83 m.

Calculating for the Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle when the Width of Cut on Sheet Metal and the Depth of Cut are Given

sin λ = ^d / _b

Where;

λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle
b = Width of Cut on Sheet metal
d = Depth of Cut

Let’s solve an example;
Find the restricted orthogonal cutting angle when the width of cut on sheet metal is 14 and the depth of cut is 28.

This implies that;

b = Width of Cut on Sheet metal = 14
d = Depth of Cut = 28

Then, sin λ = ^d / _b
sin λ = ²⁸ / ₁₄
sin λ = 2

Therefore, the restricted orthogonal cutting angle is 2.

Calculating for the Depth of Cut when the Width of Cut on Sheet Metal and the Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle are Given

d = b x sin λ

Where;

d = Depth of Cut
b = Width of Cut on Sheet metal
λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle

Let’s solve an example;
Find the depth of cut when the width of cut on sheet metal is 24 and the restricted orthogonal cutting angle is 10.

This implies that;

b = Width of Cut on Sheet metal = 24
λ = Restricted Orthogonal Cutting Angle = 10

d = b x sin λ
So, d = 24 x sin 10
d = 24 x 0.156
d = 3.74

Therefore, the depth of cut is 3.74 m.
