Study Notes
Material Removal Processes
- Material removal processes are a family of shaping operations
- The most popular branch of material removal processes is conventional machining
- Conventional machining involves using a sharp cutting tool to shape the material mechanically
- The three most prominent machining processes include turning, drilling, and milling
Advantages of Machining
- A wide variety of work materials can be machined
- Machining allows for a variety of part shapes and geometric features
- High dimensional accuracy can be achieved
- Good surface finishes are possible
Disadvantages of Machining
- Wasteful of material
- Time-consuming
Cutting Tools
- A cutting tool possesses one or more sharp cutting edges
- The cutting tool is made of a material that is harder than the work material
- The cutting edge separates a chip from the parent work material
Single Point Cutting Tools
- Single point cutting tools have one cutting edge and used for operations like turning
- The point of the tool penetrates below the original work surface of the part
Multi-Point Cutting Tools
- Multi-point cutting tools have more than one cutting edge
- Multi-point cutting tools can be used for operations like drilling and milling
- Most multi-point cutting tools have a rotating motion
Cutting Tool Angles
- The side cutting angles may vary from 10° to 20°
- The end cutting edge angle can range from 5° to 30°
- The nose radius is the rounded end of the tool bit
- The end relief (clearance) angle permits the cutting tool to be fed into the work
- The top rake angle is the backward slope of the tool face away from the nose
Tool Signature
- Tool signature, also known as tool nomenclature, specifies tool angles using a standardized abbreviated system
- A tool signature indicates the angles that a tool utilizes during the cut
- The seven elements of a single point cutting tool signature can be stated in this order: back rake angle, side rake angle, end relief angle, side relief angle, end cutting edge angle, side cutting edge angle, and nose radius.
