I was thinking about that before but i wanted to keep them in separate files just for ease of finding them but once i find i have them pretty much how i want them i will upload them in a .zip file so you only have to download 1 file for all the calculators and "How To's".

Thanks

Yep, I don't think they're done yet. It wouldn't make sense to put them together until they were all perfect.

Update

Fixed some of my math in the quick calcs.

If anyone would like me to add any motors or gearboxes as quick clicks let me know and i will put them up.

Please provide either specs on the product or a link for it.

Thanks

Update

Added - Rotary Joint Gearing Design Calculations inspired by JVN's calculator


Note: when using make sure you click the button in order starting with:
-Calculate
-Pre Calculate
-Calculate Initial
- Final Calculate

Questions and Comments are recommended and would be appreciated

Update

Fixed Rotary arm allowing it all to be done with a single button.

Added Drivetrain FPS / Specs

They both were Inspired by JVN's Calculator

More to come

Please let me know what motors you would like in these calculators along with gearboxes reduction and wheel sizes.

Thanks

Questions and Comments are appreciated

Update

Added:
-Linear Motion calculator
-Drivertrain V1.0 FPS / Spec
Fixed Drivetrain
Pushing power does not work properly right now


I am going to add motors and gearboxes into these i need to know which motors and gearboxes you would like let me know and i will have them in the next update

I suppose the common COTS gearboxes and KOP gearboxes would be good. The AndyMark line (and combinations in them. IE: AM planetary to stackerbox, to toughbox, etc...), banebots, KOP FP gearbox, globe gearbox, etc...

[vivek16]

Maybe you could make custom gearbox calculator? With the different gears, etc. Also, compiling some white papers and explanations might be helpful to rookies. I would be glad to write a few of them I had a hard enough time finding all of this info. (CD helped me a great deal).

I'm hoping this might become kind of like that CD/DVD set miss daisy sends too rookies but for mechanical info.

Update

Added: Intake Gearing Calculator "inspired by JVN's calculator"

Any ideas to make it easier to use or any motors/gearboxes you would like added please let me know and ill add them to the next update.

Thanks

[chris L]

Update

Added a .zip file with all the calculators in it.
open the file "Open Me.html" and chose you calculator

Any comments on this would be appreciated.
any other calculations you do often and would like a calculator for let me know and ill write one up.

Thanks

downloaded it to my harddrive...thanks

[chris L]

I took a few days off from working on these calculators and i can't think of any other calculators to help out during the build season.

If anyone can think of another calculator that would be helpful during build let me know and ill write one up.

And my current calculators if anyone has and suggestions for them let me know and ill try to make them better.

Thanks

Hey dude, could you create a feed and speed calculator for CNC machining.

Including imput

Motor HP (if possible)
Material
Cutter Flutes
Type of cutter
Cutter diameter
Cutter Material

Output

Spindle Rate and Feed
Feed per tooth

You can find charts and even some basic calculators through Google.

At any rate, chipload is an input, not an output, and you need SFM as an input as well. As it stands, with the variables you have given, you can calculate neither a spindle speed nor a feed rate.

Corey, I found some but they were off. Could you post a link of a good one/one that works well.
