Tool life testing on a lathe under dry cutting conditions gave $$'n'$$ and $$'C'$$ of Taylor tool life equation as $$0.12$$ and $$130$$ $$m/min,$$ respectively. When a coolant was used, $$'C'$$ increased by $$10\% $$. The increased tool life with the use of coolant at a cutting speed of $$90$$ $$m/min$$ is

The lives of two tools $$A$$ & $$B$$, governed by the equation $$V{T^{0.125}} = 2.5$$ and $$V{T^{0.25}} = 7$$ respectively in certain machining operation where $$V$$ is the cutting velocity in $$m/s$$ and $$T$$ is the tool life in sec. Find out the speed $$V$$ at which both the tools will have the same life.
Also calculate the corresponding tool life. If you have to machine at a cutting speed of $$1m/s$$, then which one of these tools will you choose in order to have less frequent tool changes?

A Throwaway carbide insert was used to machine a steel work pieces with a cutting speed of $$60$$ $$m/min,$$ tool life of $$40$$ minutes was observed, when the cutting speed was increased to $$100$$ $$m/min,$$ the tool life decreased to $$10$$ minutes. The cutting speed for maximum productivity, if tool change time is $$2$$ minutes is
