Problem 1
A shaper tool, making an orthogonal cut, has a 10° rake angle. The depth of cut t o = 0.6
mm, the width of cut = 3 mm. The cutting speed V = 40 m/min. Two components
dynamometer is used to determine the main cutting force (P s = 3600 N), and the thrust
force (P t = 2400 N). A high speed photograph shows a shear plane angle ϕ = 20°.
Calculate:
1. The expected chip thickness.
2. The shearing stress on the shear plane.
3. The machining power.
4. The specific cutting energy.
Problem 2
An orthogonal cut with 3.0 mm depth is made at a speed of 45 m/min and a feed rate of
0.25 mm/rev, with a high-speed steel tool having a 15° rake angle. The chip thickness
ratio is found to be 0.58, the main cutting force is 1000 N and the thrust force is 280 N.
Calculate:
- chip thickness.
- shear plane angle
- resultant cutting force
- machining power
- specific cutting energy
Problem 3
A workpiece is being cut at V = 100 m/min. The machining power is found to be 3 kW.
The feed rate = 0.2 mm/rev, and depth of cut = 0.5 mm.
a) What is the main cutting force in Newtons.
b) What is the spec. cutting energy in N/mm2.
c) Estimate the necessary machining time if the diameter of the machined bar is
D = 50 mm and its length = 250 mm.
Problem 4
Calculate the main cutting force component for the following turning operation:

Problem 5
In a test to determine the main cutting force through power measurement during turning
operation, the following data are obtained.
Calculate:
1- The spec. cutting energy of the machined material if
cutting speed = 30 m/min, chip cross-section = 0.25 x 1.5 mm2.
2- The lathe efficiency η under the given machining conditions.
