Spindle rpm related to cutter diameter and speed:
N (rpm) = v/( D)
Feedrate in in/min:
fr = N nt f
where f = feed per tooth
nt = number of teeth
MRR is

Slab milling:
Approach distance, A :
A= d (D-d)
Time to mill workpiece, Tmm:
Tmm = (L + A)/frr
Face milling:
Allow for over-travel O where A = O:
Full face A = O = D/2
Partial face A=O= w (D – w)
Machining time:
Tmm = (L + 2A)/frr Milling time analysis - example
Problem statement:
A face milling operation is performed to finish the top surface
of a steel rectangular workpiece 12 in. long by 2 in. wide. The milling cutter has 4 teeth (cemented carbide inserts) and is 3 in. in diameter. Cutting conditions are 500 fpm, f = 0.01 in./tooth, and d = 0.150 in. Determine the time to make one pass across the surface and the metal removal rate during the cut. Milling time analysis - example
Solution? Numbers? Full face A = O = D/2
Machining time Tm = (L + 2A)/fr
Metal removal rate MRR = w d fr
Feedrate in in/min fr = N nt f
N (rpm) = v/( D) Tolerance by process Surface finish by process Surface finish by geometry
Ideal roughness,
Ri = f2/(32 NR)
where NR = tool nose radius
Actual roughness,
Ra = rai Ri (about 2 x Ri )
because of edge effects, chip
interactions, surface tearing, etc. Machinability What is a free machining steel? http://www.sandmeyersteel.com/303.html#1
Machinability is a measure of machining success or ease of machining. Suitable criteria: • tool life or tool speed • level of forces • surface finish • ease of chip disposal Machinability - example
Problem statement: A series of tool life tests is conducted on two work materials under identical cutting conditions, varying only speed in the test procedure. The first material, defined as the base material, yields the Taylor tool life equation v T0.28 = 1050 and the other material (test material) yields the Taylor equation v T0.27 = 1320 Determine the machinability rating of the test material using the cutting speed that provides a 60 min. tool life as the basis of comparison. This speed is denoted by v60. Machinability - example Solution: The base material has a machinability rating = 1.0. Its v60 value can be determined from the Taylor tool life equation as follows: v60 = 1050/600.28 = 334 ft/min
The cutting speed at a 60 min. tool life for the test material is determined similarly: v60 = 1320/600.27 = 437 ft/min
Accordingly, the machinability rating can be calculated as
MR (for the test material) = 437/374 = 1.31 (or 131%)
Optimized machining Cutting speed can be chosen to maximize the production rate or minimize the cost per part (or unit) produced. This is referred to as optimized machining because more than one production variable contributes to the production rate and costs.
Variables: Th - part handling time Co (Cg) – operator (grinder’s) cost rate/min
Tm – machining time Ch – cost of part handling time
Tt – tool change time Cm – cost of machining time
np – number of parts cut by Ctc – cost of tool change time
tool during tool life
Tc – cycle time per part Ct – cost per cutting edge
T – tool life Ctp = Ct/np - tool cost per part
Maximum production rate - turning
Total time per part produced (cycle time):
Tc = Th + Tm + Tt/np
where Tt/np is the tool change time per part.
Consider a turning operation. The machining time is given by
Tm = D L/(v f)
The number of parts cut per tool is given by
np = T/Tm= f C(1/n)/( D L v(1/n -1) )
Maximum production rate - turning
Substituting, we get the total cutting time
Tc = Th + D L/(v f) + Tt[ D L v(1/n -1)/( f C(1/n) )]
Minimizing cycle time (dTc/dv = 0 ) gives optimum (max)
cutting speed and tool life:
vmax = C/[(1 - n) Tt/n]n
Tmax = (1 - n) Tt /n Minimum cost per unit - turning
Cost of part handling time:
Ch = CoTh
Cost of machining time:
Cm = CoTm
Cost of tool change time:
Ctc = CoTt /np
Minimum cost per unit - turning
Tool cost per part:
Ctp = Ct /np
Tooling cost per edge:
Disposable inserts Ct = Pt /ne ne = num of edges/insert Pt = original cost of tool
Single point grindable Ct = Pt /ng + Tg Cg “includes purchase price”
ng = Num tool lives/tool
Tg = time to grind tool Minimum cost per unit - turning
Total cost per part:
Cc = Co Th + Co Tm + Co Tt /np + Ct /np
Substituting for Tm and np:
Cc = Co Th + Co DL/fv + (CoTt + Ct )DLv(1/n -1)/( f C(1/n) )
Minimizing cost per part (dCc/dv = 0) gives cutting speed
and tool life to minimize machining costs per part:
vmin = C{n Co/[(1 – n)(Ct + CoTt)]}n
Tmin = (1 – n) (Ct + CoTt)/(n Co)
Minimum cost per unit - example
Problem statement:
Suppose a turning operation is to be performed with HSS tooling
on mild steel (n = 0.125, C = 200 from text table). The workpart has length = 20.0 in. and diameter = 4.0 in· Feed = 0.010 in./rev. Handling time per piece = 5.0 min and tool change time = 2.0 min. Cost of machine and operator = $30.00/hr, and tooling cost = $3.00 per cutting edge. Find (a) cutting speed for maximum production rate and (b) cutting speed for minimum cost Minimum cost per unit - example
