Cutting force: formula

Cutting force: formula

Cutting force: formula

(OP)
Hi, I want to calculate the tangential cutting force Ft.
Can someone give me a good reference or the formulas?

RE: Cutting force: formula

Hi

You need to be more specific in terms of machining process and the material your cutting

RE: Cutting force: formula

(OP)
Oh sorry! It is for the inside turning of beryllium copper.

RE: Cutting force: formula

hi

See page 6,7 of this link for cutting for cutting forces:-

http://www.me.unm.edu/~zleseman/teaching/me260/lec...

Are you sure you want the cutting force or do you want the speed and feeds etc for cutting your material, if the latter is the case then do a Google search.

I do not see any formula in this file in order to calculate my cutting forces.

RE: Cutting force: formula

page 7

torque= Fc X D(avg)/2

The torque you get from the power of your lathe depending on rpm of the chuck.

on page 7 Fc = cutting force

this is a copy of page 7:-

TABLE 22.3
N = Rotational speed of the workpiece, rpm
f = Feed, mm/rev or in/rev
v = Feed rate, or linear speed of the tool along workpiece length, mm/min or in/min
=fN
V = Surface speed of workpiece, m/min or ft/min
= π Do N (for maximum speed)
= π Davg N (for average speed)
l = Length of cut, mm or in.
Do = Original diameter of workpiece, mm or in.
Df = Final diameter of workpiece, mm or in.
Davg = Average diameter of workpiece, mm or in.
= (Do +Df ) /2
d = Depth of cut, mm or in.
= ( Do +Df ) /2
t = Cutting time, s or min
=l/f N
MRR = mm3/min or in3/min
= π Davg d fN
Torque = Nm or lb ft
= ( Fc )( Davg /2 )
Power = kW or hp
= (Torque) (w , where w=2π radians/min

RE: Cutting force: formula

Desertfox, on page 7 "Three principle forces in turning" shouldn't that be "Three principal forces in turning"?

RE: Cutting force: formula

Chicopee

Please re-read and explain your post, I cannot understand your point:-

"Three principle forces in turning" shouldn't that be "Three principal forces in turning"?

The two quotes above are the same.

RE: Cutting force: formula

Ah thanks IRstuff I see it now.
Yes Chicopee I agree with you, however I won't be writing to the site to correct it.
