Responsibilities of Engineers
Design (with Material) engineer:
• determine geometry and materials of products to
meet functional requirements
Manufacturing engineer based on material decision:
• select machine tool
• select cutting-tool materials
• select workholder parameters,
• select cutting parameters
20.2 Fundamentals
Cutting Parameters
Speed (V): the primary cutting motion, which relates the
velocity of the cutting tool relative to the workpiece.
For turning: V = p(D1 Ns) / 12
where, V – feet per min, Ns – revolution per min (rpm),
diameter of surface of workpiece, in.
D1
Feed (fr): amount of material removed per revolution or
per pass of the tool over the workpiece. In turning, feed is
in inches per revolution, and the tool feeds parallel to the
rotational axis of the workpiece.
Depth of Cut (DOC): in turning, it is the distance that the
tool is plunged into the surface.
DOC = 0.5(D1 – D2) = d

cylindrical workpiece on a
lathe requires you to
select the cutting speed,
feed, and depth of cut.
20.2 Fundamentals
Cutting Tool is
a most critical component
used to cut the work piece
selected before actual values for speed and feeds are
determined.
Figure 20-4 gives starting values of cutting speed, feed for a
given depth of cut, a given work material, and a given
process (turning).
Speed decreases as DOC or feed increase
Cutting speed increases with carbide and coatedcarbide tool material.

Machinability Data Handbook.)
20.2 Fundamentals
To process different metals, the input parameters to the
machine tools must be determined.
For the lathe, the input parameters are DOC, feed, and the
rpm value of the spindle.
Ns = 12V / (p D1) = ~ 3.8 V/ D1
Most tables are arranged according to the process being
used, the material being machined, the hardness, and the
cutting-tool material.
The table in Figure 20-4 is used only for solving turning
problems in the book.
20.2 Fundamentals
DOC is determined by the amount of metal removed per
pass.
Roughing cuts are heavier than finishing cuts in terms of
DOC and feed and are run at a lower surface speed.
Once cutting speed V has been selected, the next step is to
determine the spindle rpm, Ns.
Use V, fr and DOC to estimate the metal removal rate for the
process, or MRR.
MRR = ~ 12V fr d
where d is DOC (depth of cutt).
MRR value is ranged from 0.1 to 600 in3/min.
20.2 Fundamentals
MRR can be used to estimate horsepower needed to
perform cut.
Another form of MRR is the ratio between the volume of
metal removed and the time needed to remove it.
MRR = (volume of cut)/Tm
Where Tm – cutting time in min. For turning,
Tm = (L + allowance)/ fr Ns
where L – length of the cut. An allowance is usually
added to L to allow the tool to enter and exit the cut.
MRR and Tm are commonly referred to as shop equations
and are fundamental as the processes.
20.2 Fundamentals
One of the most common is turning:
workpiece is rotated and cutting tool removes
material as it moves to the left after setting a
depth of cut.
A chip is produced which moves up the face of
the tool.
FIGURE 20-5 Relationship of
speed, feed, and depth of cut in
turning, boring, facing, and
cutoff operations typically done
on a lathe.
20.2 Fundamentals
Milling:
A multiple-tooth process.
Two feeds: the amount of metal an individual tooth
removes, called the feed per tooth ft, and the rate at
which the table translates pass the rotating tool, called
the table feed rate fm in inch per min.
fm = ft n Ns
where n – the number of teeth in a cutter, Ns – the rpm
value of the cutter.
Standard tables of speeds and feeds for milling provide
values for the recommended cutting speeds and feeds and
feeds per tooth, fr.
