3. Problems
3.1. Determine the values of C and n in the plot of the figure, using two of the three points
on the curve.
3.2. Tool life tests in turning yield the following data: (1) when cutting speed is 100 m/min,
tool life is 10 min; (2) when cutting speed is 75 m/min, tool life is 30 min. (a) Determine
the n and C values in the Taylor tool life equation. Based on your equation, compute (b)
the tool life for a speed of 110 m/min, and (c) the speed corresponding to a tool life of
15 min.
3.3. In a production turning operation, the workpart is 125 mm in diameter and 300 mm
long. A feed of 0.225 mm/rev is used in the operation. If cutting speed = 3.0 m/s, the
tool must be changed every 5 workparts; but if cutting speed = 2.0 m/s, the tool can be
used to produce 25 pieces between tool changes. Determine the Taylor tool life
equation for this job.
