The cutting tool are being tried for an operation. Tailors tool life equation for them are as follows
$$\eqalign{ & HSS\,\,tool\,:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V{T^{0.1}} = 200 \cr & Carbide\,\,tool\,:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V{T^{0.35}} = 500 \cr} $$
Find out the break even speed above which the carbide tool will be economical.

In an orthogonal cutting test on the following data were obtained
Uncut chip thickness $$=0.25mm,$$ Cutting speed: $$60m/min,$$ Tool rake angle: $$0$$ Chip thickness $$0.75mm,$$ Cutting force : $$900$$ $$N$$, Thrust force : $$450$$ $$N$$

Calculate the shear angle, total power in making the cut and coefficient of friction between the chip tool interface.

The following data is available for machining a component on a turret or center lathe: find out the total number of components to be machined to justify the use of turret lathe

In turning operation the feed rate could be doubled to increase the metal removal rate To keep the same level of surface finish, the nose radius of the tool has to be
