Orthogonal machining of a steel work-piece is done with a $$HSS$$ tool of zero rake angle. The ratio of the cutting force and the thrust force on the tool is $$1:0.372.$$ The length of cut chip is $$4.71$$ $$mm$$ while the uncut chip length is $$10$$ $$mm.$$ What are the shear plane angle $$\phi $$ and friction angle $$\beta $$ in deg.? Use Merchant's theory.
