4 Question 4
Transform ASA nomenclature tool angles into ORS nomenclature tool angles and verify
with above calculated angles.

We have,
tan(i) = –sin(Cs )tan(αs ) + cos(Cs )tan(αO )
tan(αO ) = cos(Cs )tan(αs ) + sin(Cs )tan(αb )
Now, we are given that,
i = ORS inclination angle = 9.756 ◦
◦
Cs = ASA Side Cutting Edge Angle = 19.191
αs = ASA Side Rake Angle = -2.063 ◦
αb = ASA Back Rake Angle = 9.756 ◦
αO = ORS Orthogonal Rake angle = 1.349 ◦

The values are according to those that are determined from the above questions.

Equation 1, LHS:
tan(i) = tan(9.756◦ ) = 0.1719

Equation 1. RHS:
–sin(Cs )tan(αs ) + cos(Cs )tan(αO )
= –sin(19.191◦ )tan(−2.063◦ ) + cos(19.191◦ )tan(1.349◦ ) = 0.1727

Equation 2, LHS:
tan(αO ) = tan(1.349◦ ) = 0.023

Equation 1. RHS:
cos(Cs )tan(αs ) + sin(Cs )tan(αb )
= cos(19.191◦ )tan(−2.063◦ ) + sin(19.191◦ )tan(9.756◦ ) = 0.022

Hence, verified.

5 Question 5
Describe the importance of back rake angle, side rake angle, end relief angle, side relief
angle, end cutting edge angle, side cutting edge angle, nose radius in tool geometry.

• Back Rake angle

1. The shear angle is a direct function of the rake angle.

2. A larger rake angle is good for machine efficiency.
3. Larger rake angle lowers the cutting forces and thus the power consumption.
4. It controls the the chip flow over the rake face.

• Side rake angle

1. It prevents the sudden engagement of the entire depth of cut when the tool
enters the work piece.
2. A larger side rake angle results in smooth starting of the machining process.
3. A larger side rake angle ensures that the chip produced us thinner and wider.

• End relief angle

1. It relieves the trailing end of the cutting edge.

2. Also prevents the rubbing of the cutting edge on the machined surface.

• Side relief angle

1. Controls chip flow.

2. Counters the resistance of the movement of the tool on the machined surface.

• End cutting edge angle

1. Prevents rubbing of the edge of the tool with the machined surface.
2. Directs the chip flow.

• Side cutting edge angle

1. Prevents rubbing of the flank with the machined surface.

2. Higher value would allow for better tool penetration and efficient cutting.

• Nose radius

1. Pointed tools wear off easily and nose radius does not allow the tool to be
pointed.
2. Lengthens the tool life.
3. Increases the efficiency of the tool.
