Bonus Quiz 1
 Name the three primary parameters that
must be specified for a machining operation.

 These three parameters allow us to decide if

we have the power to physically perform the
operation. What (three letters) calculation
can we get from the primary parameters to
begin to address the necessary power
requirements?

Manufacturing Operations
 Four classes of Processing Operations:
• Solidification Processes
• Particulate Processes
• Deformation Processes
• Material Removal Processes
 Two classes of Assembly Operations:
• Mechanical Assembly
• Joining

Machining
 Variety of work materials  Wasteful of material
can be machined • Chips generated in
• Most frequently applied to machining are wasted
metals material, at least in the
 Variety of part shapes and unit operation
special geometry features  Time consuming
possible, such as: • A machining operation
• Screw threads generally takes more time
• Accurate round holes to shape a given part than
alternative shaping
• Very straight edges and
processes, such as
flat surfaces
casting, powder
 Good dimensional accuracy metallurgy, or forming
and surface finish

Manufacturing Systems
Machining Operations
 Generally performed after other manufacturing processes
(casting, forging, …)
• Other processes create the general shape of the workpart
• Machining provides the final shape, dimensions, finish, and
special geometric details that other processes cannot create
 Most important machining operations:
• Turning
• Drilling
• Milling
 Other machining operations:
• Shaping and planing
• Broaching
• Sawing

Primary Machining Parameters

 Cutting Speed – (v)

• Primary motion
• Peripheral speed m/s ft/min
 Feed – (f)
• Secondary motion
• Turning: mm/rev in/rev
• Milling: mm/tooth in/tooth
 Depth of Cut – (d)
• Penetration of tool below original work surface
• Single parameter mm in
 Resulting in Material Removal Rate – (MRR)
MRR = v f d mm3/s in3/min
where v = cutting speed; f = feed; d = depth of cut

Drilling
 Creates a round hole in
a workpart
 Contrasts with boring
which can only enlarge
an existing hole
 Cutting tool called a drill
or drill bit
 Customarily performed
on a drill press

Roughing: 1+ Low High High
removes large 0.4 - 1.25 mm/ 2.5 - 20 mm

Manufacturing Systems
Turning
 A single point cutting tool removes material from
a rotating workpiece to generate a rotationally
symmetric shape
 Machine tool is called a lathe
 Types of cuts:
• Facing
• Contour turning
• Chamfering
• Parting (Cut-off) / Grooving
• Threading

Facing

Tool is fed
radially inward

Manufacturing Systems
Contour Turning
Instead of feeding the
tool parallel to the axis
of rotation, tool follows a
contour that is not
necessarily straight
(thus creating a
contoured form).

Cutting edge
cuts an angle on
the corner of the
cylinder, forming
a "chamfer"

Parting (Cutoff) / Grooving

Tool is fed radially

into rotating work
at some location
to cut off end of
part, or provide a
groove

Threading
Pointed form tool is
fed linearly across
surface of rotating
workpart parallel to
axis of rotation at a
large feed rate, thus
creating threads

Turret Lathe
 Manual operation is replaced by a
“turret” that holds multiple tools
• Tools are rapidly brought into action by
indexing the turret
• Tool post is replaced by multi‑sided turret
to index multiple tools
• Applications: high production work that
requires a sequence of cuts on the part
