Q

Disposal of chips in orthogonal cutting vs oblique cutting

A

Orthogonal cutting: Present difficulties as chip will stay on top of the tool holder and may damage the workpiece’s surface

Oblique cutting: Greatly improves the surface finish of the workpiece as it allows the chips to move freely away from the area of cutting

Q

Which force is insignificant in oblique cutting?

A

Radial Force as no motion is associated with it, it does not consume power, but it influences the axial force

Q

5 reasons why throw-away inserts are becoming popular

A
  1. Worn out or broken cutting edge can be easily indexed by unclamping the locking device and rotating the insert to a new cutting tip
  2. Cutting tips need not be sharpened
  3. Setting time is minimal
  4. Proper clamping can be achieved easily
  5. Relatively cheaper to use and replace throwaway inserts

Q

How does side rake angle affect cutting?

A

Directs the chip flows away from the cut and it provides for a sharp cutting edge

21
Q

How does back rake angle affect cutting?

A

Promotes smooth chip flow and good surface finishes

22
Q

How does front relief angle affect cutting?

A

Prevents the tool end from rubbing on the freshly cut workpiece surface

23
Q

How does side relief angle affect cutting?

A

Allows the tool to feed into the work material and prevents the tool end from rubbing on the freshly cut workpiece surface

24
Q

How does side cutting edge angle affect cutting?

A

Defines orthogonal or oblique cutting. Responsible for turning the chip away from the finished surface. Allows the edge to enter the workpiece without a sudden shock

25
Q

How does front cutting edge angle affect cutting?

A

Provides clearance between the trailing edge of the tool and freshly cut workpiece surface

26
Q

How does nose radius affect cutting?

A

Influences the surface finish of the workpiece

27
Q

As positive rake angle increase, tool becomes_______,

A

Tool becomes weaker and therefore the cutting force and power should be reduced.

28
Q

Increasing positive rake angle will ______ the machined surface finish.

A

Improve. It also provides a sharper edge and thus increases tool life

29
Q

As negative rake angle decreases, the cutting area will be _________

A

Strengthened. Thus the cutting forces are well supported by the tool body. These tools are used for higher cutting speeds. The surface finish from these tools are very poor.

30
Q

Chip formation from negative rake angle tools

A

More plastic and thin continuous chip. Cutting is so rapid that the heat generated by the chip does not have time to pass to the tool and almost all the heat is concentrated in the chip.

31
Q

Two important functions of cutting fluids

A

Cooling and for lubrication

32
Q

When is oil with water emulsions preferred?

A

When cooling action is more important

33
Q

When is neat oil used

A

When lubrication is significantly needed

34
Q

5 functions of cutting fluids

A
  1. Improvement of surface finish quality and dimension
  2. Flushing away of chips from the cutting zone
  3. Increase of tool life
  4. Prevention of chip welding, corrosion of the machine
  5. Permits the use of higher cutting speed and federate
35
Q

4 desirable cutting fluids characteristics

A
  1. Does not corrode work or machine
  2. Low evaporation rate
  3. Stable and not form foam or fume
  4. Do not injure or irritate the operator, when in contact or inhaled
36
Q

3 types of chips

A

Discontinuous chips, continuous chips, continuous chips with a built-up edge

37
Q

4 factors affecting chip formation

A

Work material, tool geometry and material, cutting conditions, presence of cutting fluid

38
Q

Conditions giving rise to discontinuous chips

A
  1. Brittle work material
  2. Small rake angle
  3. Low cutting speed
  4. Large depth of cut
  5. Large feedrate
  6. Lack of cutting lubricant
39
Q

Conditions giving rise to continuous chips

A
  1. Ductile work material
  2. Large rake angle
  3. High cutting speed
  4. Small depth of cut
  5. Low feedrate
  6. Efficient use of cutting lubricant
  7. Cutting tool material with less pressure-weld tendencies
40
Q

Conditions giving rise to continuous chips with built-up edge

A
  1. Ductile work material
  2. Low rake angle
  3. Low cutting speed
  4. High depth of cut
  5. High feedrate
  6. Poor use of cutting lubricant

*BUE also causes the rake angle to change, changing the tool geometry

Q

Symbol for spindle speed

A

N
rpm

42
Q

Symbol for cutting speed

A

V
m/min

43
Q

Definition of spindle speed (N)

A

The number of revolutions the workpiece turns in 1 minute and is dependent on the cutting speed and the workpiece diameter

44
Q

Definition of cutting speed (V)

A

The rate at which a point in the circumference of the work travels past the cutting tool i.e. the linear speed, and is dependent on the workpiece material and desired finish

45
Q

Definition of feedrate

A

The distance the tool bit advances along the work for each revolution of the spindle or per minute. It is dependent on work material, tool material, type of cut

46
Q

Cutting Speed V equation

A

V = piDN/1000

47
Q

Spindle Speed N equation

A

N = 1000V/piD
