I. Basic Geometry of Common Tools
The basic geometry of all tools is defined with respect to the relative work/tool velocity,
the first thing one does in examining the geometry of a cutting tool is to orient the tool
with respect to this velocity. Figure (1) shows the basic geometry of the cutting
operation. Figure (2) shows a simple turning tool with primary and secondary cutting
edges separated by a nose radius. The important planes as well as the directions for
measurement of rake angle are identified within Figure (2)
Figure (1) Basic Geometry of the cutting operation.
Rake Angles are measured between the rake face and a plane perpendicular to the cutting
velocity. Two orthogonal values are used to characterise the rake face. US practice uses
back rake and side rake, (related to shank). The rest of the world uses the more sensible
directions shown, (related to the edge). Clearance angles are measured between clearance
planes and the cutting velocity, (normally +5 to +10 degrees).

II. Basic Geometry and Terminology of Cutting Processes
While tool geometry is fairly standard, process terminology is somewhat different for
each operation. This section will consider the most common processes of turning :end
milling.
a) Turning
The turning process usually refers to the process of cutting a rotating workpiece with a
single point stationary tool, (there are exceptions however these are relatively minor).
The machine tool used for turning is called a lathe, those which are designed for large
pieces, held in the horizontal plane are termed vertical turning lathes.
A set of typical plan geometries and associated applications are shown in Figure (5), the
basic variables are shown in Figure (6), finally the detailed geometry of a representative
operation is shown in Figure (7).

RPM of the workpiece. .
Vfeed=s*(RPM), either in mm/min or inch/min
The usual units for feed per rev are mm or inches.

Figure (7) Detailed Geometry of the Turning Process
The detailed tool geometry is of great importance in a production environment. The
combination of approach angle and trail angle determine the range of applications which
a particular tool is capable of. While a decreasing point angle gives greater flexibility,this is at the expense of tool strength. The most common point angles are between 90
degrees and 60 degrees, (square and triangular throw away insert tooling). The tool nose
radius and the trail angle influence surface finish, (in the absence of a nose radius then the
approach angle also has an influence). A typical example of a machined surface finish
profile is shown in Figure (8). The approach angle and the nose radius are also used to
"thin" the chip allowing higher feedrates to be achieved before tool breakage occurs. (In
theory a change in approach angle from 0 degrees to 45 degrees would allow an increase
in feedrate of approximately 40% in those cases where the depth is considerably greater
than the nose radius, in practice other factors such as " work push off " and stability,
("chatter"), mitigate against the use of high approach angles for multipass roughing).

b)Milling
There are a very large variety of milling cutter types and associated operations, Figure
(9) shows a group of typical operations and cutters. The nomenclature of milling cutters
is, to say the least, inconsistent if not downright confusing. You should not worry to
much about mastering the terminology but understand the major applications of face
mills, end mills and slot drills , (a slot drill has at least one tooth which cuts to centre
and hence is capable of an axial plunge cut ... do not try this with an end mil!!!). The
basic geometry of the milling process is more complex than most others. The cutting
edge must enter and leave the work, and of course the chip thickness in cut is variable.
The actual path traced out by each tooth with respect to the workpiece is trochoidal.
Luckily the peripheral velocity, (the cutting speed), is much larger than the centreline
velocity of the cutter, (the feeding speed). Given that the cutting speed is 2 orders of
magnitude higher than the feed velocity, one may assume that each individual path is of
a circular shape and is translated by the feed per tooth from the path traveled by the
previous tooth. The detailed geometry of the cut is shown in Figure (9) where it is seen
that the instantaneous chip thickness, (equivalent to the feed/tooth in turning), is
sinusoidal. Most HSS (High Speed Steel) milling cutters and almost all slab mills or
end mills utilise a helix angle to attempt to minimise the dynamic force components; in
terms of cut geometry, the helix corresponds to an angle of obliquity and also serves to
direct the chip away from the surface cut by the face of the tool.
The milling process has many more variables than turning, the major decisions to be
made now are the selection of axial depth of cut, feed per tooth, cutting velocity, radial
width of cut and the mode of milling. There are two modes of milling as shown in
Figure (11), namely Up Cut, (Conventional), and Down Cut, (Climb). Figure (11)
shows the force components acting upon a single tooth, it should be evident that, for a
single tooth in contact, there is a obvious possibility of a force reversal in the feed
direction for down milling and in the normal direction for up milling. The force reversal
in the feed direction for down milling may cause trouble if there is backlash in the
power screw driving the machine table, (the table will be moved bodily by the amount of
the backlash). The normal result of the table motion mentioned above is tool breakage,
and perhaps component damage, as well as danger to the operator. Down milling is
only, (commonly), used on machine tools with backlash elimination, (power screws), or
on servo driven mills which utilize preloaded ball screws. The majority of milling on
conventional machine tools is then carried out using an upcut or conventional action,
there are some advantages to down milling, principally that it produces a better surface
finish, it does however create more tool push off force, (normal to surface), so accuracy
is generally compromised relative to up milling. Finally there can be impact problems
with down milling, and some materials make up milling almost impossible, (soft
austenitic stainless steels or nickel base alloys tend to produce chips which adhere to the
tooth on exit and cause destruction of the edge on reentry).

III. The Selection of Machining Conditions
a) Turning
The normal method of selecting turning conditions in a production environment is as
follows:
a) Select the highest allowable depth of cut, (chatter and tool geometry are the
limiting constraints).
b) Select the maximum feedrate, (tool forces, torque, surface finish and tool breakage
are the limiting constraints).
c) Select a cutting speed which leads to a reasonable tool life, (check power
constraint). Normally a handbook value is used to start, this is adjusted as parts are
produced and the actual values become apparent. One should also realise that
velocities which are too low will result in the formation of built up edge which
causes both a poor, (dull), surface finish and accelerated tool wear/breakage.
For the sake of convenience, a couple of tables for turning are included, (one for carbon
steel, (25O BHN-Brinell Hardness Number), the other for brass). NOTE these tables take
account of the rather flexible nature of the components and the variation in size of lathe,
you may be using. Production rates using carbide tooling, rigid workpieces and heavy
duty machine tools would be up to 10 times higher.

b)Milling
The selection process here is very similar to that in turning, however one must be aware
that when using small diameter milling cutters, (as will be the case here), then the
avoidance of tool shank breakage is a major issue.
a) Select a reasonable cutter diameter for the radial width to be cut. Usually in
production one prefers to have a cutter diameter which is comparable to the intended
radial width since it provides a much lower cost process, in low volume/job shop
environments this is not critical.
b) Maximise depth of cut, again chatter is a major constraint however, in this case,
even before selecting feed per tooth some reasonable data must be consulted to avoid
breakage.
c) Maximise feed, (breakage is the major constraint, however finish and, accuracy
may also need to be considered).
d) Select a reasonable starting value of spindle speed, the major constraint is spindle
power.
