CUTTING SPEED FEED RATE

OF LATHE MACHINE

JOSHUA RETUTA
“To operate any machine
efficiently, the machinist must learn
the importance of cutting speeds and
feeds”
• Cutting speed is defined as the speed
(usually in feet per minute) of a tool when it
is cutting the work.
• Feed rate is defined as tool’s distance
travelled during one spindle revolution.
• Feed rate and cutting speed determine the
rate of material removal, power
requirements, and surface finish.
• Feed rate and cutting speed are mostly
determined by the material that’s being cut.
In addition, the deepness of the cut, size
and condition of the lathe, and rigidity of
the lathe should still be considered.
To select the proper feed rate for drilling,
you must consider several factors.

1. Depth of hole – chip removal


2. Material type – machinability
3. Coolant – flood, mist, brush
4. Size of drill
5. How strong is the setup?
6. Hole finish and accuracy
If a cutting speed is too high, the cutting tool
edge breaks down rapidly, resulting in time
lost recondition the tool.

With too slow a cutting speed, time will be


lost for the machining operation, resulting in
low production rates.
TYPE OF FEED
(a) Longitudinal Feed - It is the feed parallel
with the axis of rotation as in case of turning.

(b) Cross Feed - When the fed is given at right


angle to the axis of rotation as in case of facing

(c) Angular Feed - It is the feed directed at an


angle to the axis of rotation as in case of taper
turning.
Determination of Cutting Speed and
Feed
Kind Of Material Being Cut - The harder the material,
the more force required to remove the chip and the
more rapid the wear on the tool. For this reason, hard
materials are to be machined at lower cutting speeds
and smaller feeds than soft materials.

Shape (Angles) And Dimensions Of The Cutting


Element -
A change in the chief angles of the cutting tool will
correspondingly change the forces due to the cutting
action
Types Of Finish Desired - In general, high
cutting speeds and fine feeds give the best
finish.

Rigidity Of The Machine - No work should be


done at speed and feeds that cause vibration in
the machine.
Types Of Coolant Used - Cooling with cutting
fluids is not only for carrying away the heat
generated, but also because of the lubricating
effect of the fluid on the working surface of the
tool
Rigidity Of The Machine - No work should
be done at speed and feeds that cause
vibration in the machine

Types Of Finish Desired - In general, high


cutting speeds and fine feeds give the best
finish.
Factors Affecting Cutting Speed
(Machinability)
Machine Factors - The efficiency of any
machining operation depends on the overall
rigidity of the system consisting of the machine
tool, the cutting tool and the work piece
Tool Materials - Of all the factors governing
machinability, the most basic is the cutting tool.
Without tools made from the proper tool
material and having proper geometry, a cutting
operation cannot be performed efficiently,
Tool Geometry - Proper tool geometry is
essential for efficient machining operations, and it
should be chosen depending on the work material
and machining conditions
Nature Of Engagement Of Tool With Work - If
the tool is continuously in continuously in contact
with the work piece, as in the case of turning a full
cylinder, the tool life value will be generally higher
than in the case of an interrupted cut
Tool Rigidity - The work piece material, size and
configuration determine the type of machining
operation and the cutting tool to be used.
Cutting Fluids - Cutting fluids permit the use of
higher cutting speeds and feeds and prolong the
tool life.
OPERATION IN
LATHE MACHINE
In lathe machine the work part is rotates and the
tool remains stationary . Lathe machine
operations involve the turning , drilling, facing,
boring threading and many more. Various tools
and different orientation of the tool is used to get
the desired shape
So lets discuss the processes
and follow the diagrams for a better

understanding.
Contour turning
In this operation of lathe machine the tool is not
fed in a straight path . Instead the tool follows a
contour. A contoured form is created in the
turned part.
Feed : Contoured feed . Not parallel to the axis
of w/p rotation.
Facing
Facing is used to make a flat surface at the end
of the work piece. The work part should be
rotating and the implied feed should be radial.
S0 ,Feed for facing operation in lathe machine
Form turning

In this method a special shaped tool is used .


The tool is inserted radially.
Feed for forming : Radial.
Taper turning
Like contour turning the tool is not fed parallel
to the axis of rotation of the work part. The tool
is fed at an angle. This turning operation gives a
conical and taper cylindrical shape.
Feed : radial (in an angle)
Chamfering
Only the cutting edge is used at the corner
of cylindrical shapes which is used for stress
relieving of the work piece.
Cutoff or Parting
In parting operation the tool is fed radially and
the end part of the work piece is cut off.
Feed : Radial.
Boring
A single point tool head is fed linearly to the end
of the work piece (on the inside diameter) .
Feed : Linear.
Threading
A pointed tool is used at the outside surface of
the work piece with linear feed.
Drilling
Drilling and reaming is done by feeding the lathe
tool along the axis of the rotating job part.
Knurling
It is a metal forming method which creates a
regular cross hatched pattern. It is not a
machining process. It does not involve any
cutting of the metal
