V bit depth of cut

[neilferreri (Neil Ferreri Ω)]

@WillAdams

so we multiply:

3/8" * 0.577350269

to get:

0.952350269

I think you want to divide here.

Width of cut / 2 / tan(half angle of bit)

Here’s a post I wrote explaining the math, but looking for the width. We just change the equation.

Vee bit cutting accuracy issues

No, I thought your design had the depth of cut at 0.478". The effective diameter of the V-bit at that depth would be 0.396". You would enter a bit diameter of 0.396". The explanation… Here’s a 45deg bit: [bit] A cross-section is just two right triangles with the cut angle at 22.5 degrees: [cutaway] Depending on the depth of cut, the effective cut radius would change: [cutDepth] If you remember SOHCAHTOA from high school math, you would eventually get to that side of the triangle would …
