■ Calculating Cutting Speed

■ Calculating Power Requirements

f

(1) Calculating rotation speed from cutting speed

n : Spindle Speed (min -1 ) v c : Cutting speed (m/min) D m : Inner/outer diameter of workpiece (mm) X : π ≈ 3.14

P c : Power requirements (kW) v c : Cutting speed (m/min) f : Feed Rate (mm/rev) a p : Depth of cut (mm) k c : Specific cutting force (MPa) H : Required horsepower (HP) V : Machine efficiency (0.70 to 0.85)

1,000 × v c X × D m

n =

v c × f × a p × k c 60 × 10 3 × V

P c =

Example: v c =150m/min, D m =100mm n = 1,000 × 150 = 478 (min -1 ) 3.14 × 100

Rake angle (degrees)

When feed rate decreases, specific cutting force increases.

● Theoretical (geometrical) surface roughness ■ Machined Surface Roughness

■ Relation between nose radius and 3-part force

● Ways to improve surface finish roughness (1) Use an insert with a larger nose radius (2) Optimise the cutting speed and feed rate so that built-up edges do not occur (3) Select an appropriate insert grade (4) Use wiper insert
