Diameter at a distance
API · /taper-api
Taper Calculator API
Taper and cone geometry as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The taper endpoint relates the large and small diameters, the length and the taper of a conical part: give the two diameters and the length and it returns the taper ratio, the taper per foot and per inch (for inch parts), the included angle 2·atan((D−d)/(2L)) and the half (taper) angle from the axis — or leave one of the diameters or the length out and provide the taper per foot, and it solves for the missing dimension. The diameter-at endpoint gives the diameter (and radius) at any distance along the taper, measured from either the large or the small end, by linear interpolation d(x) = D − (D−d)·x/L. The morse endpoint is a reference of the standard Morse taper series MT0 to MT7, with each taper's taper per foot, gauge-line large and small diameter, length and included angle. Lengths and diameters use consistent units (inches by default, or millimetres for the angle and ratio outputs). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for machining and lathe tools, CAD and toolmaking apps, maker and metalworking projects, and mechanical-engineering calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is taper geometry; for screw-thread pitch and tap drill use a thread API and for spur-gear geometry use a gear API.

Machining Speed API
Machining cutting-speed and feed maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The speed endpoint converts between cutting (surface) speed and spindle rpm for a given tool or workpiece diameter, in both directions and in either unit system: metric uses N = Vc·1000/(π·D) with Vc in metres per minute and D in millimetres, and imperial uses RPM = SFM·12/(π·D) with the surface speed in feet per minute and the diameter in inches. The feed endpoint computes the table feed rate from the feed per tooth (chip load), the number of teeth or flutes and the spindle rpm for milling (feed = fz·z·N), or from the feed per revolution for turning and drilling, and reports it in millimetres or inches per minute. The materials endpoint lists typical carbide cutting speeds by material, from aluminium and brass through mild and stainless steel to titanium, with a note to use about a third for HSS tooling. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. An indicative aid — always confirm with the tool maker's data and adjust for depth of cut, coolant and rigidity. Ideal for CNC and machine-shop tools, CAM and feeds-and-speeds apps, maker and hobby machining, and manufacturing calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is machining feeds and speeds; for screw-thread pitch and tap drill use a thread API and for bolt-circle layouts use a bolt-circle API.

Bolt Circle API
Bolt-circle (bolt pattern / PCD) geometry as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The coordinates endpoint lays out a set of equally spaced holes on a circle: from the bolt-circle diameter (or radius), the number of holes, an optional start angle, centre offset and direction, it returns the X and Y coordinate and angle of every hole, the angular step (360 ÷ number of holes) and the chord between adjacent holes — exactly what a CNC or drawing needs. The chord endpoint gives the straight-line distance between any two holes on the pattern using chord = 2·R·sin(central angle ÷ 2), taking the shorter way around. The diameter endpoint works in reverse: from a measured distance between two holes and the number of holes it recovers the bolt-circle diameter, so you can reverse-engineer an existing flange or wheel. Lengths are unit-agnostic — the output is in whatever unit you supply. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for CNC and CAD tools, machining and fabrication apps, flange, wheel and hub design, and drilling-jig and robotics projects. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is bolt-circle geometry; for screw-thread pitch and tap drill use a thread API and for spur-gear geometry use a gear API.

Screw Thread API
Screw-thread geometry as an API, computed locally and deterministically for the 60° ISO metric and Unified (UTS) thread form. The pitch endpoint converts between the thread pitch in millimetres and threads per inch (TPI = 25.4 ÷ pitch) and works out the lead — the distance the thread advances in one turn — from the pitch and the number of starts. The dimensions endpoint takes a nominal (major) diameter and a pitch and returns the full set of thread diameters and heights: the fundamental triangle height, the external thread height, the pitch diameter (D − 0.6495·P), the external minor diameter (D − 1.2269·P) and the internal minor diameter (D − 1.0825·P), in both millimetres and inches. The tapdrill endpoint gives the drill size for cutting an internal thread: the standard metric rule of nominal diameter minus pitch (about 75–83% thread), the resulting thread engagement, and — for a target engagement percentage — the matching drill size. Diameters accept millimetres or inches, and threads can be specified by pitch or by TPI. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for machining and CNC tools, mechanical-design and CAD apps, maker and 3D-printing projects, and hardware and fastener catalogues. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is screw-thread geometry; for the torque to tighten a bolt use a torque API.

Moment of Inertia API
Rigid-body rotational-inertia mechanics as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The shape endpoint returns the mass moment of inertia and the radius of gyration k = √(I/m) for a named standard body about its characteristic axis — a solid sphere (I = 2/5·m·r²), thin spherical shell (2/3·m·r²), solid cylinder or disk (1/2·m·r²), annular/hollow cylinder (1/2·m·(r1²+r2²)), thin ring (m·r²), thin rod about its centre (1/12·m·l²) or about one end (1/3·m·l²), rectangular plate or cuboid (1/12·m·(a²+b²)), solid cone (3/10·m·r²) and point mass (m·r²) — so a 2 kg solid sphere of radius 0.5 m has I = 0.2 kg·m². The parallel-axis endpoint applies the Steiner theorem I = I_cm + m·d² to shift a moment of inertia from the centre-of-mass axis to any parallel axis a distance d away. The shapes endpoint lists the whole catalog with its formulas. All quantities are SI (kg, m → kg·m²). Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for mechanical-engineering, robotics, CAD/CAE, rotating-machinery, structural-dynamics and physics-education app developers, flywheel-and-shaft design tools, and simulation software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is rotational inertia; for stored rotational energy and flywheel sizing use a flywheel API and for torque and angular acceleration a torque API.
