8.4 FEEDS AND SPEEDS
If we consider the speed and feed of a lathe,
The Feed Chart is used to select the speeds and feeds of the lathe, and is often attached to the lathe near the setting levers.
There are some simple (geometric) equations that can be listed,
Typical cutting speeds for a high speed steel tool are, [Krar]
Typical feeds when using a high speed steel tool are, [Krar]
8.4.1 The mrr for Turning
considering the parameters defined in the discussion of speeds and feeds, etc, the mrr is given below,
8.4.2 Process Planning for Turning
The general steps when process planning for turning external parts are,
If the part is to be mounted between centres, plan should precede by,
For work to be mounted in a chuck, (implies internal features),
1. cut the stock 1/8" wider in diameter, and 1/2" longer.
2. Mount the work in the chuck with 5/16" to 3/8" inside.
3. Use a facing operation (lightly) to square the end.
4. Rough cut the external diameters, from the largest to the smallest.
5. Drill out the centre of the work using a drill chuck mounted in the tailstocks spindle. Start with a centre drill, and increase drill sizes to increase the hole.
6. Mount a boring tool to cut the internal diameter to close to the final diameter.
7. Cut any special feature now.
8. Do finish cuts on outside and inside.
9. Reverse the part in the chuck and face off the material to size. Protect the work by placing a piece of soft metal between it and the chuck.
