SPECIFICATION OF THE CUTTING GEOMETRY OF SINGLE POINT TOOLS AND TWIST DRILLS USING THE ISO SYSTEM
A. R. WATSON* and R. A. WILLIAMSt
(Received 1 February 1976; in final form 25 August 1976)

Abstract--The ISO System recognises the geometry of the tool when cutting, the Tool-in-use System, and the geometry for the production of the tool, the Tool-in-hand System, but a third system, not yet included in the ISO document, the Machine ReferenceSystem, is needed to relate the first two systems. The geometries can be related by either geometric projection methods as used by the authors, vector methods, or by matrix transformation methods. Some inconsistencies in previouslyderived results have been noted. Relationships are presented for the various angles of a lathe tool and the cutting lip and chisel edge of a twist drill. The effectsof radius and feed on the various parameters of a drill are shown diagrammatically. 1. INTRODUCTION IN THE PAST many different systems for specifying cutting tool nomenclature have been adopted and many of them are now withdrawn. These systems have included the British Maximum Rake System [1], the German (DIN) System 1-23 specifying the back rake and side rake relative to the cutting edge, the American (A.S.A.) System [3] specifying the back rake and side rake relative to the axis of the cutting tool and the Normal Rake System originally proposed by Stabler 1-43. The merits and demerits of these systems have been fully explained by Boothroyd [5]. None of these systems is related to the actual cutting operation. The companion standards 1-63, superseding [2], were produced to relate to the actual cutting operation. The Draft International Standard 1-73 further develops that concept and the British Standard 1-8] which supersedes 1-13 is nearly an endorsement of [7]. The ISO Draft [73 provides a means of defining the geometry of cutting tools in terms of their e ~ c t i v e geometry i.e. the geometry which exists when the tool is actually performing the catting operation; these angles are defined with reference to the Tool-inuse System. In addition the standard recognises the practical implication of tool generation and so makes provision for the specification of geometry so that manufacture and inspection are facilitated; such angles are specified with reference to the Tool-inhand System. The aims of this paper are: (1) to support the case for a third reference system in 1-73, to link the Tool-in-hand and the Tool-in-use Systems in any cutting operation. (2) to indicate certain inconsistencies in results derived by previous authors, and (3) to present general relationships for a lathe cutting tool and then to show the variations in the cutting conditions on the cutting lip and the chisel edge of a drill as both the radius of the considered point and the feed change. The paper is ,;et out as follows. A brief introduction to [7] is given in 2 while the support for a Machine Reference System is presented in 3. The geometric projection method used by the authors to develop the relationships between the various systems is explained in 4. In 5, brief reference is made to the inconsistencies in previous work and to the reasons for this. The relationships for a lathe tool are developed in 6 and for a drill in 7. * Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Military Studies.

2. ISO SYSTEM While there is no intention of duplicating the ISO document, certain of its concepts and notations are presented to establish a clear understanding of the ISO system for planes and angles. It is necessary to establish a reference system of planes so that the angles of a cutting tool can be defined. In the Tool-in-hand System Fig. 1, the system introduced to facilitate the manufacture and inspection of the tool, the tool reference plane Pr is generally orientated perpendicular to the assumed direction of primary motion. All the other planes in this system, except the cutting edge normal plane P,, are orientated relative to the Pr plane. The assumed working plane PI is perpendicular to Pr and generally orientated parallel to the assumed direction of feed motion. The tool back plane Pp, forms an orthogonal set with Pr and P: and this set is identified by Peters and Van Den Noortgate [9] as the assumed working system. The tool cutting edge plane Ps, contains the cutting edge and is perpendicular to P,, while the cutting edge orthogonal plane Po completes another orthogonal set with Pr and Ps and this set is identified by Peters and Van Den Noortgate [-9] as the orthogonal system. The cutting edge normal plane Pr is perpendicular to the cutting edge. In the system introduced so that the geometry of the tool can be specified when it is performing a cutting operation, the Tool-in-use System, Fig. 2, all planes, except the cutting edge normal plane are designated working planes and the subscript e is added to the symbol. The working reference plane P~e is perpendicular to the resultant cutting direction while the working plane P/e contains both the direction of primary motion and the direction of feed motion and is consequently perpendicular to P,e.

FIG. 2.
The working back plane Pve completes the orthogonal set with P,e and pre--the working system I-9]. The working cutting edge plane Pse contains the cutting edge and is perpendicular to Pre while the working orthogonal plane Poe completes another orthogonal set with P,e and Psi--the working orthogonal system [9]. The cutting edge normal plane being perpendicular to the cutting edge, is identical in the two systems, i.e. P,~ is identical to P,. The subscripts r, f p, s, o, n and re, fe, pe, se, oe and ne are applied to the various angles in those planes in the two systems. The symbols used for the rake angle, wedge angle and clearance angle are 7,/~ and c~respectively. In the tool back, assumed working, orthogonal and normal planes, these being the planes that section the cutting tool the rake angles would be 7p, 7f, ?o and 7, respectively while 7p~, 7fe~ 7oe and 7,~ would be the corresponding angles in the Tool-in-use System. The inclination angle is measured in the cutting edge plane as 2~--the tool cutting edge inclination or 2,e the working cutting edge inclination in the Tool-in-use System. It can thus be seen that the assumed working, the orthogonal and the normal systems of the Tool-in-hand System are related to [3], [2] and [4] respectively. The geometry

can be specified in any of these systems as will probably be the more widely used, With for the production of the cutting face, or the 2s and cq respectively can be set directly on a

in the past though the normal system the normal system, the relevant angles clearance face, viz. ~c,, 2s and y, or Kr, three axis universal grinding jig.

3. MACHINE REFERENCE SYSTEM To determine the actual cutting geometry in any cutting process from the tool-in-hand system or to determine the tool-in-hand angles from optimum cutting geometry, either geometric projection methods, vector methods or matrix transformation methods as used by Peters and Van Den Noortgate [9] and Osman and Mueller El0] can be used. The International Organisation for Standardisation recognise the need for a third reference system of planes called the Machine Reference System to define the orientation of a cutting tool with respect to a machine tool. Since this is not yet defined within [7] it is suggested that the axes for this Machine Reference System should agree with the axes in the ISO Recommendation [11]. For a lathe, the axes would be as shown in Fig. 3.

Ym FIG. 3.

In most cases when a tool is mounted in its tool holder, the assumed working system set of axes will not coincide with the Machine Reference System set of axes. The displacement of the tool from a position of coincidence with the Machine Reference System to its operating position can be considered as a series of rotations about the Machine Reference System set of axes and it is again contended that the notation as in [11] should be used. The axes in the working system are related to the resultant cutting direction and the direction of feed motion, and these are most readily defined relative to the machine reference system. It is thus seen that the Machine Reference System becomes a necessary addition to [7] if the actual cutting geometry is to be defined.
4. G E O M E T R I C PROJECTION METHOD

In this, the principles used in obtaining auxiliary views in orthographic projection are used, viz. (1) the projections of a point are on a straight line perpendicular to the ground line, and (2) the distances of the same point from the corresponding ground lines are equal. An element of the cutting edge at the point under consideration is projected into various views to obtain the relevant angles such as in Figs. 1 and 2. The planes are considered to be flat over the element considered. The projections of the cutting edge

107

segment perpendicular to and along the ground line are then related to give the tangent of the angle being considered. The principles as stated above are then used to relate these projecticns to lengths perpendicular to and along the ground lines of previous views. This process is continued until a common length term is obtained in each term of the express;ion for the tangent of the angle. This term is generally the length of the edge segment of the cutting tool. Consequently a trigonometrical expression, independent of an3' length term is obtained.
5. P R E V I O U S DERIVATIONS

Irrespective of which method is used to relate the geometry within any one system and from one system to the other the geometry for the Tool-in-hand System should be consistent with that developed by earlier workers e.g., Stabler [4], Shaw et al. [12], Oxford Jr. [13] and Galloway [14], who generally neglected the feed effect in their analyses. It is this need for consistency which has highlighted certain errors in the equations derived in [9] and [10], e.g. equation (3) in Section 5.1 of [9] where if the total plan approach angle (h" + A) be set to 90 and the inclination angle 2 be zero, i.e. the tool is cutting orthogonally, the effective normal rake angle ~,,,, decreases with feed, which is obviously incorrect. Although matrix methods have been used in [9J and [10], the errors are not inherently due to the use of matrices. With matrix transformation methods it is convenient to use a right handed set of orthogonal axes for otherwise the vector operations, scalar and vector products do not result in the wellknown simple results. In transforming from one system to another, such as the normal system to the working system or from Tool-in-hand to Tool-in-use System, the axes are rotated and not the tool. It is important also that the correct sign of the various angles according to [73 be used as well as ensuring that the transformation matrice,; be orthogonal. Some or all of these points have been overlooked at times in previous derivations. The International Standards Organisation have produced a document [153 which extends and corrects the work done by Peters and Van Den Noortgate [93. The Machine Reference System has been used in this and a number of relationships between the various angles are presented for tool-in-use angles in terms of tool-in-hand angles and vice versa. Matrix transformation methods have been used. Matrix transformation methods have one inherent difficulty in that where the angle is determined b'. its cosine, the sense of the angle is not defined. A similar difficulty occurs with vector methods where the cosine of the angle between two unit vectors is found from the dot product of those vectors.
6. C U T T I N G GEOMETRY OF A LATHE TOOL

For a lathe, the direction of primary motion and the direction of feed motion coincide with axes of the machine reference system set of axes so the Tool-in-use System of planes is simply located relative to the Machine Reference System set of axes. The only variable for any cutting tool in a fixed position is the resultant cutting speed angle t/, Fig. 4.

The tool can generally be rotated about the tool post, i.e. the Y axis of the machine reference system. Some tool holders allow the tool to be rotated about an horizontal axis to adjust the inclination angle and this is equivalent to a rotation about the Z axis of the machine reference system. The rotations, according to [11] would be B and C respectively where a positive B rotation would decrease the cutting edge angle h" and a positive C rotation would increase the tool back rake 7p- It is thus possible to orientate the Tool-in-hand System set of planes relative to the Machine Reference System set of axes. A number of relationships between the various angles at a point on the cutting edge have been derived by the authors by the geometric projection method and these are presented below without derivation. These were derived assuming that the tool side rake 7s the tool back rake 7p and the tool cutting edge angle ~r were the basic angles for the face of the tool, and that the tool side clearance 7y, the tool back clearance ~p and the tool cutting edge angle Kr were the basic angles for the flank of the tool. Although these are the angles in the assumed working system, it is not claimed that this system is more fundamental than any other system. It was convenient to use the working system because when the feed effect is considered later in the Tool-in-use System, the resultant cutting speed angle r/ lies in the working plane Pie. tan 2~ = sin ~:~tan 7p - cos ~c~tan 7y tan 7,

Where there is a correspondence in concept between [-7] and previous work, then agreement between these results and previously derived equations can be noted. Stabler [-4] considered that the tool cutting edge inclination 2, was zero and his equation (10) can be shown to agree with (2). Equations (6) and (7) of D I N 6581 [-6] can be shown to agree with (5) and (1) respectively when the error in (7) of DIN6581 [-6] is corrected. (It should be tan 2 and not cot 2. When this correction is made in (7), equations (8) and (9) then follow from equations (6) and (7).) Equations (29) and (3) of Shaw et al. [,,12] can be shown to reduce to (1) and (2) respectively. Comparable expressions between the working angles can also be written. tan 2se = sin ~:,e tan 7p~ -- cos Kre tan Tie tan 7,~ -cos 2~e tan 7I~ sin 2s~ sin ~:,e + tan ~:r----~ (6) (7) (8) (9)

When the tool is placed in the tool holder, the tool geometry measured relative to the Machine Reference System of axes will be altered from the tool-in-hand angles because of the setting angles B and C. The feed effect will also produce different dynamic geometry from the static geometry relative to the machine reference set of axes. Conse-

quently two stages of transformation viz. Tool-in-hand to Machine References System and then to the Tool-in-use System, are needed to link the two sets of equations presented above.

7. C U T T I N G GEOMETRY OF A TWIST DRILL

(26)

Because a number of the parameters at a general point on the cutting edge of a drill vary as a function of the radius, the relationships for the cutting parameters at a general point on the edge are not as straight forward as for a lathe tool. The resultant cutting speed and the helix angle are examples of parameters that are functions of the radius of the point considered. The magnitude and direction of the resultant cutting speed V,, will vary from nearly the tangential velocity at the outer radius of the drill, since the feed velocity there is small compared to the tangential velocity, to the axial feed at the centre, where the tangential velocity is zero. The helix angle decreases from its maximum value at the periphery to effectively zero at the intersection of the lip and the chisel edge. The radius of the general point is considered in dimensionless form
r

where r = radius of point being considered and R = diameter of drill, i.e. D

and equations are derived for the major cutting element, the cutting lip, from the corner of the chisel edge to the outer radius. The equations developed for the cutting lip would be applicable to all drills as long as the cutting edge is a generator of the grinding cone. The chisel edge also functions as a cutting element, as recognised by Oxford Jr. [13], Galloway[14] and Williams[16] [17], and [18]. For most drills the chisel edge is formed by the intersection of two curved clearance flanks and consequently the chisel edge is very difficult to define mathematically. Williams [16] and [17] proposed a bevel ground form which can be geometrically defined and so the equations for the cutting geometry of the chisel edge will apply only to the bevel ground drill though it is suggested that they could be applied to any drill with a straight chisel edge. 7.1 Alon(I the cutting lip Figure 5 shows for the Tool-in-hand System, the relevant planes and some of the angles. Other features included, such as point angle 2~:, helix angle v, relief angle ~, web thickness 2t, and plan inclination of chisel edge 6~, are considered as fundamental parameters of the drill and the angles relating to the cutting lip have been derived in terms of them. The inclination of the cutting lip to the radius in plan is given by q5 where = sin-1 r_ P (27)

where z = t/R or 2t/D, a fixed value for any drill if the back taper of the web is neglected. It will be seen from Fig. 5 that the tool cutting edge angle K, is a function of and ~:. The relationship is tan ~:, = tan sccos q5 showing that the angle will vary across the cutting lip. (28)

The tool cutting edge inclination 2s--the orientation of the cutting edge relative to the tool reference plane--has a negative value and is given by tan 2~ = - sin ~:r tan ~b. (29)

The rake and clearance angles will be functions of the helix and nominal relief angles respectively at the periphery. Since the assumed working plane PI and the working plane Pie are perpendicular to the radius and parallel to the drill axis, the same plane in which the helix and relief angles are measured, the tool side rake 7/ will equal the helix angle, and the tool side clearance ~/ will equal the relief angle. The helix angle at the peri[phery is given by

(30)

where L is the lead. The helix angle decreases from this value at the periphery to effectively zero a~: the chisel edge i.e. when the radius is equal to t/cos 6c. If it is assumed that the helix angle decreases uniformly over the cutting lip, the helix angle and the tool side rake at any radius will be v = yf = tan- k -(~os~-~

(31)

The nominal relief angle at any radius will be dependent upon the method of generating that relief on the drill. For a conically ground drill the nominal relief angle can be determined by the method used by Galloway [14] who obtained the expression

The tool back rake yp for the cutting lip can be found from the general relationships for 2, and the specific relationship for 2, for the cutting lip of a drill. In general tan 2s = tan 7p sin ~:r - cos ~crtan 7s while for a drill tan 2s = - sin ~:r tan 4~. . tan 7p tan ~/s tan ~cr tan qS. "(29) (34)

In a similar way the tool back clearance % for the cutting lip is found to be cot ~f cot % - tan ~cr tan qS. (35)

Belore the tool-in-use angles can be derived, the position of the drill in the drilling machine has to be considered. In the working position the assumed working system set of axes coincide with the machine reference set of axes so that only the feed angle has to be considered The feed angle r / a t any radius on the cutting lip is given by tan r/ - Feed ( c o - ~ < p < 1) . HDp (36)

From these relationships for re,, 7p, ~I, %, and t/ and the assumed relationship (31) for the variation of helix angle With radius, all the tool-in-hand and the tool-in-use angles can be obtained using the general relationships given in Section 6. 7.2 Alon9 the chisel edge For a bevel ground drill as in Fig. 6 it has been shown by Williams 1-16] and [17] that the relationships between the angles 6c and ~ and the clearance angles ~"~1 and f~2 are tan 6 = and tan ~ = cos fie(tan f~2 - tan ~ql) 2 sin ~c (38) tan f~l + tan f~2 2 cos ~: (37)

Expressions for these can be found from the general relationships in Section 6 which will yield exact results for a bevel ground drill.

of the parameters with radius across the cutting lip and with feed is shown in Fig. 7. It will be seen for Fig. 7, that the normal range of feeds produces only a small change in the parameters at any radius. On the chisel edge the feed angle effect is more pronounced and the rake and clearance angles do change quite appreciably with feed. As the radius is reduced from the chisel edge corner to the centre of the drill the magnitudes of the negative rake angles and the positive clearance angles are reduced. When the clearance angle is less than zero, rubbing of the flank on the work surface occurs and it will be seen from Fig. 8, that as the feed is increased, the radius of the area of rubbing contact increases. Because the tool inclination angle 2~2 is zero for a bevel ground drill, the changes in the working cutting edge inclination 2~e2 and the working cutting edge angle ~reZ with feed across the chisel edge are only slight, Fig. 8. Computed results show that the working orthogonal rake 7oe2, the working normal rake 7ne2, and the working side rake ~fe2 differ only slightly from each other at any radius for the normal range of feeds. A similar situation exists for the comparable clearance angles and consequently only the representative angles 7iez and O~fe 2 are shown in Fig. 8.

A Machine Reference System is necessary to relate the cutting geometry between the Tool-in-hand System and the Tool-in-use System, and the ISO document [15] is based upon the acceptance of that reference system. Matrix transformation methods offer a simplicity of notation, however, care must be exercised in their implementation. The undefined sense of an angle when it is determined only by its cosine is an inherent difficulty with this method. The geometric projection method is relatively simple and the angle is always uniquely defined by its tangent. This method has been used to obtain the direct transformations (working angles as a function of tool angles) listed above. The reverse problem i.e. deriving the tool angles as functions of the working angles, would probably be more easily solved by the matrix transformation method. The tool angles could be obtained in terms of the working angles by solving the equations derived by the direct transformation, for the tool angles. This is not mathematically difficult though it could become a tedious operation. The general relationships derived for a lathe tool have been applied to the general point on the cutting edge of a drill. The effect of feed on the cutting parameters over the cutting lip and chisel edge has been presented.
