Accessibility statement

Last updated: 25/10/2026

We want everyone to be able to use lathecalculator.co.uk, including people who use a screen reader, keyboard only, magnification or high-contrast settings. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA. This is our aim, not a claim of full conformance: the site has not yet been independently audited.

What we have done

• Calculator inputs have visible labels, and on most calculators the results are announced to screen readers as they change.
• The site works with a keyboard alone, with a “skip to content” link and visible focus outlines.
• Text can be zoomed to 200% and pages reflow on narrow screens. There is a dark mode, and the site follows your device’s light or dark setting.
• Warnings are written out in words, not shown by colour alone.
• There are no time limits, pop-ups, autoplaying media or flashing content.

Known limitations

• Some diagrams and the G-code viewer’s toolpath plot are drawings. Where possible their meaning is also given in text, but a screen reader user may not get everything a sighted user does from the plot.
• Some large reference tables are wide and need sideways scrolling on a phone.
• We haven’t yet tested the site with every screen reader and browser combination.

Tell us about a problem

If you find a barrier, or need information from the site in another format, please email lathecalculator@outlook.com. Tell us the page and what went wrong. We aim to reply within 10 working days.
