Which workshop trigonometry calculation do you need?
In machining, trigonometry helps complete drawing dimensions, set up fixtures and convert measurements for a CNC program. First identify what each measurement represents: a length, a diameter change, an angle between faces or an angle to an axis. Then choose the tool that matches that geometry.
Complete drawing dimensions
Use the right triangle when two faces meet at 90°. Use the oblique triangle for three sides or angles without a right angle. For a bevelled edge, the chamfer calculator distinguishes the legs from the length of the inclined face.
The countersink calculation relates cutter angle, radial width and depth. Drill point height distinguishes useful hole depth from total depth. For a conical surface, use taper to relate diameter change to axial length.
The sine bar calculates the height needed for an inclined setup. Polar to X/Y converts a position specified by radius and angle. Degrees, minutes and seconds conversion helps interpret drawing angles before entering them in a control or another calculator.
Frequently asked questions about workshop trigonometry
Which units can I use?
Length calculators support millimetres and inches. Use the same unit for every length in a calculation. Angles are entered in degrees; use the degrees, minutes and seconds converter for ° ′ ″ notation.
What if the drawing lacks measurements?
Check which combinations the chosen calculator accepts. Some inputs do not define a unique geometry: knowing all triangle angles, for example, does not establish its size. Find another dimension before assuming a value.
Can I copy results straight into a CNC program?
These are geometric results. Before using them, check the work zero, axis directions, radius or diameter programming and tool compensation. Each page explains the references relevant to its calculation.
How do I choose between included angle and half-angle?
Identify the faces or axes used to dimension the angle and compare them with the calculator's sketch. For a symmetric cone, the included angle between both sides is twice the half-angle measured from the axis.
