Machining

Machines Sets the name of the machine.
Mill, Turn, and Drill Sets the machine as a milling, turning, or drilling machine.
Machine Cost Sets a cost per hour to use the machine.
Labor Cost Sets a cost per hour for an operator to use the machine.
Max RPM (rev/min) Sets a value to be used when the calculated RPM is greater than the maximum RPM for material removal rate (MRR) calculations.
The MRR equation displayed in the templates is a base equation. Some manufacturing processes require additional values to determine the total MRR. As a result, the calculated MRR value might not match the value shown equation in all calculations, depending on the manufacturing processes assigned in the template.
Load/Unload Time Specifies the time it takes to load a part into a machine and then unload it for each setup operation.
Operation Setup Time Specifies the time it takes to set up fixtures and other machining process setup operations.
Setup Distribution Specifies options for applying the operation setup time to costing:

Applied Once Per Part

Divided Over Total Quantity

Divided Over Lot Size
