Speed

Cutting velocity and cutting speed in straight turning

Conventional machining operation utilizes a wedge shaped cutting tool having one or more sharp cutting edges to facilitate shearing. To achieve material removal, three relative motions between workpiece and cutting tool are indispensably necessary. These are also called process parameters. One of such three relative motions is cutting velocity, other two being feed motion and depth of cut. In few machining processes, the cutting velocity is imparted either by rotating
