  2. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

  3. Surface feet per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_feet_per_minute

    It relates to spindle speed via variables such as cutter diameter (for rotating cutters) or workpiece diameter (for lathe work). SFM is a combination of diameter and the velocity ( RPM ) of the material measured in feet-per-minute as the spindle of a milling machine or lathe . 1 SFM equals 0.00508 surface meter per second (meter per second, or ...

  4. Milling (machining) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milling_(machining)

    Milling is a cutting process that uses a milling cutter to remove material from the surface of a workpiece. The milling cutter is a rotary cutting tool , often with multiple cutting points. As opposed to drilling , where the tool is advanced along its rotation axis, the cutter in milling is usually moved perpendicular to its axis so that ...

  5. Tool wear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tool_wear

    The percent of energy carried away in the chip increases as the speed of the cutting operation increases. This somewhat offsets the tool wear from increased cutting speeds. In fact, if not for the energy taken away in the chip increasing as cutting speed is increased; the tool would wear more quickly than is found.

  6. Machinability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinability

    Machinability Rating= (Speed of Machining the workpiece giving 60min tool life)/( Speed of machining the standard metal) Machinability ratings can be used in conjunction with the Taylor tool life equation, =, in order to determine cutting speeds or tool life. It is known that B1112 has a tool life of 60 minutes at a cutting speed of 100 sfpm.

  7. Centerless grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerless_grinding

    A schematic diagram of the centerless grinding process. Centerless grinding is a machining process that uses abrasive cutting to remove material from a workpiece. [1] Centerless grinding differs from centered grinding operations in that no spindle or fixture is used to locate and secure the workpiece; [2] the workpiece is secured between two rotary grinding wheels, and the speed of their ...

  8. Hobbing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobbing

    A hob, the cutter used for hobbing. Hobbing is a machining process for gear cutting, cutting splines, and cutting sprockets using a specialized milling machine.The teeth or splines of the gear are progressively cut into the material (such as a flat, cylindrical piece of metal or thermoset plastic) by a series of cuts made by a cutting tool.

  9. Grinding (abrasive cutting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(abrasive_cutting)

    The wheel is dressed constantly during machining in CDCF process and keeps the wheel in a state of specified sharpness. It takes only 17 s to remove 1 in 3 (16 cm 3) of material, a huge gain in productivity. 38 hp (28 kW) spindle power is required, with low-to-conventional spindle speeds. The limit on part length was erased.
