High-feed milling is possible due to the effect of chip thinning resulting from the shallow lead angle of the cutter – typically 10 to 25 degrees. The smaller the lead angle, the more the feed can be ...

Speed and Feed for the Lathe provides a thorough explanation of cutting variables for lathe operations, including how these variables are measured, selected, and set. Many variables affect speed and ...

Uncontrolled vibration creates multiple problems in metalcutting operations. Varying forces in the cutting process cause vibration and tool chatter that degrade part surface quality, quickly wear or ...

Turning is a metalcutting process used for the generation of cylindrical surfaces. Typically the workpiece is rotated on a spindle and the tool is fed into it radially, axially or both ways ...

Both the shaper and the planer are single-point tools that cut only in straight lines. They both make the same types of cuts. The shaper handles relatively small work. The planer handles work weighing ...

Nvidia and Menlo Micro on Wednesday said they have used technology from the startup to dramatically speed up the testing of ...
