FIGURE : Terminology used in a turning operation on a lathe, where f is the feed (in./rev or mm/rev)
and d is the depth of cut. Note that feed in turning is equivalent to the depth of cut in orthogonal
cutting (Fig. 8.2), and the depth of cut in turning is equivalent to the turning is equivalent to the
width of cut in orthogonal cutting.

Cutting Conditions
Three dimensions of a machining process:
Cutting parameters
– Cutting speed (v) – primary motion
on turning
– Feed (f )– secondary motion
– Depth of cut (a) – penetration of tool below original work surface

bubut Note: (a) These speeds are for carbides and ceramic cutting tools. Speeds for high-speed steel
tool are lower than indicated. The higher ranges are for coated carbides and cermets. Speeds for
diamond tools are significantly higher than those indicated.
(b) Depths of cut, d, are generally in the range of 0.5-12 mm (0.02-0.5 in.)
(c) Feeds, f, are generally in the range of 0.15-1 mm/rev (0.006-0.040 in./rev).
