Read MoreFollowing are the factors on which surface finishing of machined component depends. 1) Cutting speed. 2) Depth of cut. 3) Feed. 4) Material removal rate. 1) Cutting speed : It is the rate at which cutting edge of tool passes over the surface of workpiece in unit time. unit - m/min. If the cutting speed is too high, then because of high heat ...
Read MoreAbrasive machining is considered a mechanical process like milling or turning because each particle cuts into the workpiece removing a small chip of material. While typically used to improve the surface finish of a part, abrasive machining can still be used to shape a …
Read MoreGenerally, peripheral, or plain, milling is accomplished with the workpiece surface mounted to the milling machine table and the milling cutter mounted on a standard milling machine arbor. The arbor is well supported in a horizontal plane between the milling machine spindle and one or more arbor supports.
Read MoreDuring milling operations, material is removed from the workpiece by a rotating cutter with multiple teeth. In general, the workpiece is fed into the rotating (but stationary) cutter. The material (metal) removal rate is quite high compared to other machining operations and the surface finish can be very good.
Read MoreMachining process: cutting speed for turning, drilling, reaming, and end milling. 3.
