Cutting Speed, Feed, and Depth of Cut Unit 60


60-11

Objectives • Select cutting speeds and calculate the r/min for various cutters and materials • Select and calculate the proper feeds for various cutters and materials • Follow the correct procedure for taking roughing and finishing cuts

60-12

Factors Affecting the Efficiency of a Milling Operation • Cutting speed – Too slow, time wasted – Too fast, time lost in replacing/regrinding cutters

• Feed – Too slow, time wasted and cutter chatter – Too fast, cutter teeth can be broken

• Depth of cut – Several shallow cuts wastes time

60-13

Cutting Speed • Speed, in surface feet per minute (sf/min) or meters per minute (m/min) at which metal may be machined efficiently • Work machined in a lathe, speed in specific number of revolutions per min (r/min) depending on its diameter to achieve proper cutting speed • In milling machine, cutter revolves r/min depending on diameter for cutting speed

60-14

Important Factors in Determining Cutting Speed • • • • • •

Type of work material Cutter material Diameter of cutter Surface finish required Depth of cut taken Rigidity of machine and work setup

Inch Calculations • For optimum use from cutter, proper speed must be determined • Diameter of cutter affects this speed Calculate speed required to revolve a 3-in. diameter high-speed steel milling cutter for cutting machine steel (90 sf/min). simplify formula CS ( ft ) 90 12 xCS 4 xCS r / min     circumfere nce(in.) 3 x3.1416 3 x3.1416 D

4 x90 360 r / min    120 3 3

60-17

Cutting Speed Rules for Best Results 1. For longer cutter life, use lower CS in recommended range 2. Know hardness of material to be machined 3. When starting, use lower range of CS and gradually increase to higher range 4. Reduce feed instead of increase cutter speed for fine finish 5. Use of coolant will generally produce better finish and lengthen life of cutter

60-18

Milling Machine Feed • Defined as distance in inches (or mm) per minute that work moves into cutter – Independent of spindle speed

• Feed: rate work moves into revolving cutter – Measured in in/min or mm/min

• Milling feed: determined by multiplying chip size (chip per tooth) desired, number of teeth in cutter, and r/min of cutter • Chip, or feed, per tooth (T or (FPT): amount of material that should be removed by each tooth of the cutter

60-19

Factors in Feed Rate 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Depth and width of cut Design or type of cutter Sharpness of cutter Workpiece material Strength and uniformity of workpiece Type of finish and accuracy required Power and rigidity of machine, holding device and tooling setup

60-21

Ideal Rate of Feed • Work advances into cutter, each successive tooth advances into work equal amount – Produces chips of equal thickness • Feed per tooth

Feed = no. of cutter teeth x feed/tooth x cutter r/min Feed (in./min) = N x T x r/min

60-22

Examples: Feed Calculations Inch Calculations Find the feed in inches per minute using a 3.5 in. diameter, 12 tooth helical cutter to cut machine steel (CS80) First, calculate proper r/min for cutter: 4 xCS 4 x80 r / min    91 D 3.5 Feed(in/min) = N x T x r/min =12 x .010 x 91 = 10.9 or 11 in/min

60-23

Direction of Feed: Conventional • Most common method is to feed work against rotation direction of cutter

60-24

Direction of Feed: Climbing • When cutter and workpiece going in same direction • Cutting machine equipped with backlash eliminator • Can increase cutter life up to 50%

60-25

Advantages of Climb Milling • Increased tool life (up to 50%) – Chips pile up behind or to left of cutter

• Less costly fixtures required – Forces workpiece down so simpler holding devices required

• Improved surface finishes – Chips less likely to be carried into workpiece

60-26

Advantages of Climb Milling • Less edge breakout – Thickness of chip tends to get smaller as nears edge of workpiece, less chance of breaking

• Easier chip removal – Chips fall behind cutter

• Lower power requirements – Cutter with higher rake angle can be used so approximately 20% less power required

60-27

Disadvantages of Climb Milling • Method cannot be used unless machine has backlash eliminator and table gibs tightened • Cannot be used for machining castings or hot-rolled steel – Hard outer scale will damage cutter

60-28

Depth of Cut • Roughing cuts should be deep – Feed heavy as the work and machine will permit – May be taken with helical cutters having fewer teeth

• Finishing cuts should be light with finer feed – Depth of cut at least .015 in. – Feed should be reduced rather than cutter speeded up




End Mills Unit 61


61-30

Objectives • Name two types of material of which end mills are made and state their application • Describe the purpose of two-flute and multiple-flute end mills • Know the purpose of climb and conventional milling

61-31

End Mills • Greatly improved since days of carbon-steel cutting tools • High-speed steel (HSS) cutting tools maintain very important place in metalcutting industry • Variables influencing cutter decision – Part shape, work material, wear resistance of tool, red hardness, machine condition

61-32

High-Speed End Mills • Relatively inexpensive, easy to get and do jobs quite well • Capable of machining with close tolerances • Single most versatile rotary tools used on conventional and CNC machines • If need harder tool, frequent solution is cobalt end mill – Less expensive than carbide, long tool life

61-33

Carbide End Mills • Carbide properties vs. HSS tool materials – Higher hardness – Greater rigidity – Can withstand higher cutting temperatures

• Can run at higher speeds and feeds – Increasing production rates – Providing long tool life

• High-performance tool material

61-34

Common Machining Operations Performed with HSS, cobalt, solid carbide, or indexable insert type end mill • Open and closed pockets • Facing operations for small areas • Counterboring and spotfacing

• Peripheral end milling • Milling of slots and keyways • Channel groves, face grooves and recesses • Chamfering


61-35

End Mill Forms • Ground into required shapes – Flat bottom end mill (most common) • Used for all operations requiring flat bottom and sharp corner between wall and bottom

– End mill with full radium (ball nose end mill) • Used for 3D machining of various surfaces

– End mill with corner radium (bull nose end mill) • Used for either 3D work or for flat surfaces that require corner radius between wall and bottom


61-36

Three common types and the relationship of the radius to the tool diameter.

61-37

Common Types of End Mills • Two-Flute End Mill – Have large, open flutes that provide excellent chip flow – Recommended for general-purpose milling – Always select shortest end mill possible for job to obtain maximum tool rigidity – Can have different length lips on end • Mill slots, keyways, plunge cut and drill shallow holes

61-38

Common Types of End Mills • Three-Flute End Mill – – – –

With end teeth Used to plunge into workpiece Used to mill slots, pockets and keyways Minimize chatter and better chip removal

• Roughing End Mill – Designed to provide best performance while machining broad range of materials – Allows deeper cuts at faster feed rates

61-39

Direction of Cut: Climb • Cutter rotation and table feed going in same direction • Vertical milling: cutter tendency to pull work into cutting flutes • Horizontal milling: cutter pushes work against table • Maximum thickness of chip occurs at beginning of cut and exits when thin – Result – chip absorbs heat generated Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display.

61-40

Direction of Cut: Conventional • When cutter rotation and table feed are moving in opposite directions – Has tendency to pull or lift workpiece up from table

• Important that work be held securely

61-41

Direction of Cut

61-42

Milling Cutter Failure • Excessive heat – One of main causes of total cutting edge failure – Caused by cutting edges rubbing on workpiece and chips sliding along faces of teeth – Ever-expanding cycle – Minimized by correct speeds, feeds, and coolant

• Abrasion – Wearing-away action caused by metallurgy of workpiece – dulls cutting edges and cause "wear lands"

61-43

Chipping or Crumbling of Cutting Edges • Small fractures occur and small areas of cutting edges chip out when cutting forces impose greater load on cutting edges – Material left uncut imposes greater cutting load – Condition progressive • Once started will lead to total cutter failure

• Dull edges increase friction, heat, and horsepower requirements

61-44

Clogging • Some workpiece materials have "gummy" composition – Chips long, stringy and compressible

• Chips clog or jam into flute area • Minimize by reducing depth or width of cut, reducing FPT, using tools with fewer teeth, creating more chip space and coolant – Coolant applied under pressure to flush out flute area

61-45

Work Hardening of Workpiece • Can cause milling cutter failure • Result of action of cutting edges deforming or compressing surface of workpiece, causing change in work material structure that increases its hardness • Important to use sharp tools at generous power feeds and use coolant • Causes glaze – break by vapor honing or abrading surface with coarse emery cloth
