* Cutting-Tool Terms Functions: Strengthens finishing point of tool Improves surface finish on work Should be twice amount of feed per revolution Too large – chatter; too small – weakens point Nose Radius: Rounded tip on the point of the tool Tool Angle Application Factors to consider for tool angles The hardness of the metal Type of cutting operation Material and shape of the cutting tool The strength of the cutting edge * 1 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * AA Tool Geometry The geometry of cutting tools refers to the various angles and clearances machined or ground on the tool faces. Although the terms and definitions relating to single-point cutting tools vary greatly, those adopted by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and currently in general use are illustrated in Fig.?31-6. * * * * * * * An introduction to Cutting Tools with special reference to SPCT by Jatinder Garg Associate Professor Baba Hira Singh Bhattal Institute of Engineering Technology Lehragaga (Sangrur) Machining Process Cast, formed and shaped products may need further machining operations to give them the desired final shape, after removal of extra material in the form of chips. Machining processes remove material from a work piece by CUTTING ( As in case of machine tools like lathe, shaper etc) ABRASIVE ( As in case of a grinding wheel) NON TRADITIONAL ( Processes such as EDM, ECM Etc.) * Metal Cutting Processes * Turning High proportion of work machined in shop turned on lathe Turning tool set to given depth of cut, fed parallel to axis of work (reduces diameter of work) Chip forms and slides along cutting tools upper surface created by side rake * Planing or Shaping Workpiece moved back and forth under cutting tool Fed sideways a set amount at end of each table reversal * Plain Milling Multi-tooth tool having several equally spaced cutting edges around periphery Each tooth considered single-point cutting tool (must have proper rake and clearance angles) Work
