In Example 24.1, which of the quantities will be affected when the feed is increased to f = 0.5 mm/tooth?
EXAMPLE 24.1 Material-removal Rate, Power, Torque, and Cutting Time in Slab Milling A slab-milling operation is being carried out on a 300-mm-long, 100-mm-wide annealed mild-steel block at a feed f = 0.25 mm/tooth and a depth of cut d = 3.0 mm. The cutter is D = 50 mm in diameter, has 20 straight teeth, rotates at N = 100 rpm, and, by definition, is wider than the block to be machined. Calculate the material-removal rate, estimate the power and torque required for this operation, and calculate the cutting time.
