What is the definition of primary cutting force?

 A cutting force that is directly generated by motion of the cutting tool during machining. Primary cutting forces occur in the
same direction as cutting tool movement.
 Learn more about primary cutting force in the class "Locating Devices 107" below.

Summary

Class Vocabulary    
A locator that can be adjusted to accommodate variations in workpiece dimensions. Adjustable
adjustable locator    
locators are less accurate than fixed locators.
A pin that is used to lock a workpiece into position on an indexing jig. An operator pulls the
alignment pin    
alignment pin into and out of a hole that lines up with another hole in the workpiece.
A separate locator device that is attached or fastened to the tool body of the workholding device.
assembled locator    
Assembled locators can be easily replaced if damaged.
cast     Material that has been poured into a mold as a liquid and cooled into a solid form.
A device that resists secondary cutting forces during a machining operation. Clamps are used to hold
clamp    
a workpiece against the locators.
cutting force     A force that is generated by the cutting tool as it machines the workpiece. Cutting forces are divided
 Class Vocabulary    
into primary and secondary cutting forces.
external locating pin     A locating pin that is used to locate an outer surface of a workpiece.
fixed locator     A locator that is specifically designed to maintain a fixed position for a workpiece dimension.
An imaginary plane that is parallel to the ground floor. The top of a table is typically positioned on a
horizontal plane    
horizontal plane.
A jig that is specifically designed to locate a part in multiple positions, one after another. Indexing
indexing jig    
jigs are often used to drill holes around the surface of a cylindrical workpiece.
integral locator     A locator that is built directly into the body of a workholding device.
internal locating pin     A locating pin that is used to locate an interior hole of a workpiece.
A fixed locator that completely surrounds the dimensions of a workpiece. The workpiece rests within
locating nest    
the locating nest.
An assembled locating device that can be used to locate either an outside workpiece surface or an
locating pin    
interior hole. Locating pins are available in numerous shapes and sizes.
A device that resists primary cutting forces during a machining operation. Locators can be used to
locator    
support a workpiece from below or locate it on a horizontal plane.
partial locating nest     A locating nest that surrounds only portions of the workpiece surfaces.
A cutting force that is directly generated by motion of the cutting tool during machining. Primary
primary cutting force    
cutting forces occur in the same direction as cutting tool movement.
production run     The collective processes that are necessary to manufacture a group of similar or related parts.
The use of an extra, or duplicate locator that does not add to the accurate positioning and supporting
redundant location    
of a workpiece surface. Redundant locators potentially introduce errors in workpiece tolerancing.
relieved locator     A locating pin with a diamond-shaped head that is used to position a workpiece in only two opposite
 Class Vocabulary    
directions. Relieved locators are most often used with an internal locating pin.
rest button     A short locating pin that is used to both support and locate a workpiece.
A spring-loaded device with a metal ball that is used to lock a workpiece into position on an
retractable plunger    
indexing jig. The spring forces the round ball into a hole on the workpiece.
A cutting force that is generated in response to primary cutting forces. Secondary cutting forces
secondary cutting force     include vibration during machining and forces that attempt to lift a workpiece after a drill penetrates
the workpiece.
A ring or collar on a locating pin that enables the pin to withstand greater loads. Shoulders can also
shoulder    
be used to support a workpiece.
An adjustable locator with a metal or plastic bulb that is used to push a workpiece up against fixed
spring locating pin    
locators on the opposite side.
An adjustable locator with a metal button or tang that pushes a workpiece up against fixed locators
spring stop button    
on the opposite side. Spring stop buttons exert more force than spring locating pins.
threaded adjustable locator     An adjustable locator with a threaded knob that is turned to push up against the workpiece surface.
The unwanted but acceptable deviation from a desired dimension. Workholding devices must have a
tolerance    
tighter tolerance than the desired tolerance of the workpiece.
The foundation of a workholding device. The various components, such as locators and clamps, are
tool body    
fastened to the tool body to create a customized workholding device.
A workholding device with two jaws that grip and hold a workpiece in place. A vise is mostly used
vise    
to hold rectangular or cubic workpieces with fairly simple dimensions.
A fixed locator that uses an angled interior to position and center the cylindrical surface of a
V-locator    
workpiece.
workholding device     A device used to locate and hold a workpiece. The workholding device references the tool
 Class Vocabulary    
performing the operation on the part being held.
workpiece     A part that is being worked on. It may be subject to cutting, welding, forming, or other operations.
