Trigonometry help please, plunge depth for a v cutter!

[HankMcSpank]

I might be wrong, but you should be able to use an online calculator similar to this.....

Right Triangle Angle And Side Calculator

Just assume your cutter is lying on its side, therefore.....

In the 'side b' box (this is your experimental 'cut depth')

In the angle box (enter your V cutter angle divided by two)

the cut width will be the 'a' result multiplied by two.

Example....

say you have a 60 degree V cutter & you want to know the diameter of a hole if you go 2mm deep

enter '2' in the side b box
enter 30 in the angle box

Click calculate.

the hole will be side 'a' multiplied by 2...therefore 1.15 x 2 = 3.3mm

I realsie it's not exactly what you seek (fwiw, I suck at trig), but if nobody else chimes in, te above method should get you there! There may well be a dedicated calculator out there, but that was just a quick search/kludge! (kludge is my friend...we know each other so well)
