Vc = 100 m/min followed by depth of cut and cutting speed in order listed. (1) Cutting conditions
1 Feed chips.
2 Depth of cut chips. Effective
3 Cutting speed feed and depth of cut.
(2) Workpiece material Mild steel chips are thicker than those of 1 Alloy element hard steel. 2 Hardness Hard steel chips are liable to curl more than those of mild steel. 3 Heat treatment
condition exception, in case of mild steel even if thick, may not curl. Feed: (mm/rev) f
