The following data apply to machining a part on turret lathe and a general purpose lathe

The setup cost and the cost for special tooling on the turret lathe would be $$Rs.3000/-.$$ These costs are negligible on the general purpose lathe. Calculate the batch seize which justifies the use of turret lathe.

Reamer is designed to have even number of flutes to:

For cutting double start screw threads of pitch $$2.0$$ $$mm$$ on a lathe, the thread cutting tool should have a feed rate of

The diameter and rotational speed of a job are $$100mm$$ and $$500$$ $$rpm$$ respectively. The high spots (chatter marks) are found at a spacing of $$30$$ $$deg$$ on the job surface. The chatter frequency is
