Cutting Data & Parameters

Cutting Data Terminology

In the turning operation we can distinguish threeIndicated in meters/min. It refers to
Vc -
important elements:the speed at the insert edge removing
  • Work piece’ s rotation at a determined the material at the periphery of the speed of the spindle, “n” work piece. The cutting speed is
  • linear movement of the tool at a determined related to the diameter of the feed, “f” work piece.
  • Cut depth, a Defined in mm/rev and it is the

p F - distance covered by the tool during every rotation of the work

n aa piece. “f”- refers to the distance

pp covered by the tool in a one minute, Diam.Diam. that is the feed vf (mm/min) f -ap - Depth of Cut

Cutting ParametersFormula
The spindle speed n is the number of rotations theVolume “Q ”: Metal Removal Rate
z
work piece rotates in one minute and it is indicated inThis value takes into consideration V , A
p c
revolutions/minute.and feed to calculate the amount of material
removed.
The Surface Speed can be calculated with the following
formula:Q = V xfxa (cm3/min)
