The KC Machine Works, which does job shop machining, has received an order to make 40 duplicate pieces, made of AISI 4140 steel, which will require 1 hr/piece of actual cutting time if a high-speedsfeel (M1) milling cutter is used. Abigail Langley, a new machinist, says the cutting time could be reduced significantly if the company would purchase a suitable tungsten carbide milling cutter. Paul Zachary, the foreman for the milling area, says he does not believe that Abigail’s estimate is realistic, and he is not going to spend $450 (the current price from the vendor) of the company’s money on a carbide cutter that probably would not be used again. The machine hour rate, including labor for the shop is S40/h.
Abigail and Paul have come to you, the manufacturing engineer (MfE) of the plant, for a decision on whether to buy the cutter, which is readily available from a local supplier.
What factors should you consider in this situation? How much faster could the carbide cutter cut compared to the HSS cutter? See Table CS-24. Based on your best guess as to the savings in actual cutting time per piece, who do you think is correct: Abigail or Paul?

- hand write asap ( i'll give you multiple upvotearrow_forwardUsing slot milling with a cutting tool surface width of 36mm was performed from the top surface to cut a workpiece of 85 x 42 x 8 cm into two equal parts. The milling cutter is 180 mm in diameter and has eight teeth. Cutting speed = 60 m/min, chip load = 0.35 mm/ tooth, and depth of cut = 2 mm, given that the setup and machine settings provide an approach distance of 7mm before actual cutting begins and an overtravel distance of 20 mm after actual cutting has finished, and the return time is a 4-second for idle pass stroke. Determine:- 1. What is the total machining time required for the entire workpiece? 2. The maximum metal removal rate during cutting.arrow_forwardThe tool life equation for HSS tool is VT0.14f 0.7d 0.4 = Constant. The tool life (T) of 20 min is obtained using the following cutting conditions: V = 40 m/min, f = 0.30 mm, d = 2.0 mm If speed (V), feed (f) and depth of cut (d) are increased individually by 25% . Calculate the tool life.arrow_forward

- A single-point cutting tool with 12° rake angle is used to machine a steel work-piece. The depth of cut, i.e. uncut thickness is 0.81 mm. The chip thickness under orthogonal machining condition is 1.8 mm.

- In an orthogonal cutting operation an 8 mm deep groove is to be turned on a 50 mm diameter steel bar. Spindle speed is 300 rpm and a feed rate of 0.25 mm/rev is given to the tool. Produced chips have a width of 2 mm. Calculate the material removal rate at the beginning and at the end of the cut.

Given that average cutting speed is 21 m/min, feed 1.2 mm/double stroke, and return/cutting time ratio is 3/4. The approach at each end is 72 mm. If the permissible depth of cut is 2 mm, determine the cutting time in the following cases: i) Using shaper with a mechanically driven ram. ii) Using shaper with a hydraulically driven ram.
