NC lathe (For automation) 5 5 Steel, Stainless steel Steel, Cast iron (Very low General lathe Steel, Stainless steel (Low speed) speed, very small feedrate) Cast iron, Carbon (For safety) 5 ~ 5 { Good : C type, D type Easy Work deformation Difficult A type : Twines around the tool or workpiece, damages the machined surface Large Rake angle Small and affects safety. Small D.O.C. Large Poor B type : Bulky, causes problems in the automatic chip conveyor and chipping occurs easily. Fast Cutting speed Slow E type : Causes spraying of chips, poor machined surface due to chattering, chipping, large cutting force and high temperatures. Factor of Improvement Chip Control j Increase feed rate Depth of cut (mm) 4,0 t1 t2 >t1 f1 f2 >f1 2,0 0,1 0,2 0,3 0,4 0,5 When feedrate increase, chips become thick and chip control improves. Feed rate (mm/rev) k Decrease side cutting edge Side cutting edge angle 1 2< 1 45° t1 t2 >t1 f f 15° Even if feed rate is the same, smaller side cutting edge angle makes chips thick and chip control improves. 0,2 0,25 0,3 0,35 Feed rate (mm/rev) l Decrease nose radius 1,6 r2 < r1 t1 r 1 t2 Nose radius (mm) t2 >t1 f f 0,8 Even if depth of cut is the same, smaller nose radius makes chip thick and chip control improves. * Cutting resistance increases in proportion with the width of the contact surface. Therefore, with 0,4 Technical Guidance a larger nose radius, cutting resistance and back force increases, chattering may also occur. However, with the same feedrate, a smaller nose 0,2 0,25 0,3 0,35 radius would produce a poorer surface finish. Depth of cut (mm) N5
