Experiment 1
Aim: To study of Orthogonal & Oblique Cutting on a Lathe.
Apparatus: Lathe Machine
Theory:
It
is appears from the diagram in the following figure that while turning
ductile material by a sharp tool, the continuous chip would flow over
the tool’s rake surface and in the direction apparently perpendicular to
the principal cutting edge, i.e., along orthogonal plane which is
normal to the cutting plane containing the principal cutting edge. But
practically, the chip may not flow along the orthogonal plane for
several factors like presence of inclination angle, λ, etc.
The role of inclination angle, λ on the direction of chip flow is schematically shown in figure which visualizes that,
• when λ=0, the chip flows along orthogonal plane, i.e, ρc = 0
• when λ≠0, the chip flow is deviated from πo and ρc = λ where ρc is chip flow deviation (from πo) angle
Orthogonal cutting: when chip flows along orthogonal plane, πo, i.e., ρc = 0
Oblique cutting : when chip flow deviates from orthogonal plane, i.e. ρc≠0
But practically ρc may be zero even if λ= 0 and ρc may
not be exactly equal to λ even if λ≠0. Because there are some other
(than λ) factors also which may cause chip flow deviation.
Result: Hence the study of Orthogonal & Oblique Cutting on a Lathe is completed.
Experiment 2
Aim: To calculate the machining time for cylindrical turning on a Lathe and compare with the actual machining time.
Apparatus: Lathe Machine
Theory:
The major aim and objectives in machining industries generally are;
• reduction of total manufacturing time, T
• increase in MRR, i.e., productivity
• reduction in machining cost without sacrificing product quality
• increase in profit or profit rate, i.e., profitability.
Hence, it becomes extremely necessary to determine the actual machining time, TC required to produce a job mainly for,
• assessment of productivity
• evaluation of machining cost
• measurement of labour cost component
•
assessment of relative performance or capability of any machine tool,
cutting tool, cutting fluid or any special or new techniques in terms
of saving in machining time.
The machining time, TC required for a particular operation can be determined
ο roughly by calculation i.e., estimation
ο precisely, if required, by measurement.
Measurement
definitely gives more accurate result and in detail but is tedious and
expensive. Whereas, estimation by simple calculations, though may not be
that accurate, is simple, quick and inexpensive.
Hence,
determination of machining time, specially by simple calculations using
suitable equations is essentially done regularly for various purposes.
Procedure:
The
factors that govern machining time will be understood from a simple
case of machining. A steel rod has to be reduced in diameter from D1 to
D2 over a length L by straight turning in a centre lathe as indicated in
Fig.

D1= initial diameter before passes in mm;

Result: The machining time of the turning operation is done and compared.
Experiment 3
Aim: To study the Too Life while Milling a component on the Milling Machine.
Apparatus: Milling Machine
Theory:
Tool
life: Time of cutting during two successive milling or indexing of the
tool. Tool life is the length of cutting time that a tool can be used or
a certain flank wear value has occurred (0.02”).
Taylor’s tool life equation:
v Tn = C
v = cutting speed
n = cutting exponent
C = cutting constant
T = tool life
n and C depend on speed, work material, tool material, etc.
Cutting Speed can be obtained by the formula as shown:
N= (v*1000) / (π*d)
Where :
N=spindle speed in rpm;
v=cutting speed in m/min;
d=diameter of cutter in mm;
Procedure:
1. Determine the cutting speed by using given d and N values.
2. Apply Taylor’s equation and the n and C values, we can solve for tool life.
