Practice Session-3
1. Calculate r/min required to rough-turn 2 in. diameter piece of machine steel (CS 90).

2. Calculate the time required to machine a 2-in. diameter machine-steel shaft 16 in. long to
1.850-in diameter finish size. Assume one rough pass and one finish pass.

3. A milling cut is to be taken with a 0.500 inch high speed steel (HSS) endmill on a piece
of 1018 steel with a brinnel hardness of 200. Calculate the RPM setting to perform this
cut.

4. A milling cut is to be taken with a 3.00 inch carbide face milling cutter using coated
inserts on a piece of 4140 alloy steel with a brinnel hardness of 200. Calculate the RPM
setting to perform this cut.

5. A milling cut is to be taken with a 3.00 inch carbide face milling cutter using coated
inserts. If the RPM setting is 530 rpm, calculate the cutting speed.

6. For a 4 diameter, six-tooth end mill, using carbide inserts, the work material is low-alloy
steel, annealed (BHN = 200). Determine rpm at the spindle and the feed rate of the table.

7. In a metal cutting experimentation, the tool life was found to vary with cutting speed in
the following manner:
Cutting speed, V, m/min
Tool Life, T, min
100
120
130
50
Estimate the cutting speed for a tool life of 80 minutes.
