EFFECTS OF CUTTING

CONDITIONS FOR TURNING

y EFFECTS OF CUTTING CONDITIONS

Ideal conditions for cutting are short cutting time, long tool life, and high cutting accuracy. In order to obtain these conditions, selection of efficient cutting conditions and tool, based on work material, hardness, shape and machine capability is necessary.

y CUTTING SPEED

Cutting speed effects tool life greatly. Increasing cutting speed increases cutting temperature and results in shortening tool life. Cutting speed varies depending on the type and hardness of the work material. Selecting a tool grade suitable for the cutting speed is necessary.

2. Cutting at low cutting speed (65―130 SFM) tends to cause chattering. Thus, tool life is shortened.
