SURFACE ROUGHNESS
TURNING INSERTS, POSITIVE RAKE
The machined surface and tolerances achieved on components are directly affected by both the
insert nose radius and the feed rate.
From a strictly theoretical perspective, surface roughness can be calculated from the following formula:
2 6
fn x 10 fn
Rt =
8 x r
Rt
The following table presents feed values for common insert nose radius sizes and surface
roughness requirements:
The maximum feed per rev can be determined from the table by selecting the nose radius and speci-
fied surface roughness requirement.
When selecting the feed for finishing to a specified level of surface roughness, the feed values provided
in the table should not be exceeded. In general the feed in a finishing operation should be kept low in
order to produce an acceptable component finish.
