(m/s), feed
(mm) and depth of cut
(mm) as
where, C is a constant. The suggested values for the cutting parameters are:
= 1.5 m/s,
= 0.25 mm and
= 3 mm for normal rough turning. If the operation is performed at twice the cutting speed and the other parameters remain unchanged, the corresponding percentage change in tool life is __________.Log in to check the answer
