tangential component (Pz) of the cutting force = 800 N

axial component (Px) of the cutting force = 400 N
chip thickness (a2) = 0.40 mm
Determine the value of apparant coefficient of friction that occurred at the chiptool interface under that machining condition.
Why are conventional milling machines provided with large number of spindle (arbour)
speeds?
(12 + 8)
During turning a steel rod by a carbide tool insert, the life of the cutting edges increased
from 10 min to 20 min, when only the cutting velocity was reduced from 200 m/min to
150 m/min. If another fresh cutting edge of that tool insert is used under the same condition but at 180 m/min of cutting velocity, then how much would be the life (min) of that
cutting edge?

Describe briefly with the help of a suitable sketch how the longitudinal feed motion of
the cutting tool is derived (obtained) from the rotation of the feed rod in a centre lathe.
(10 + 10)
State the procedural steps to be followed in sequence while designing the foundation of
any machine tool.
