Step-by-Step Instructions on using this calculator.

Before using this calculator, please read the time savings of PX5 shown in the Makino Wave Test Cut Comparisons from Makino, and the time savings in gundrilling from Tarus Products. Then, in the PX5 column of the calculator, consider entering at least 50% of the time savings indicated by the Makino test and Tarus Products letter. This will conservatively show your total machine savings in the end.

PX5 can gun drill up to 300% faster than P20 depending on hole size.
