8.146 For a turning operation using a ceramic cutting
tool, if the cutting speed is increased by 50%,
by what factor must the feed rate be modified
to obtain a constant tool life? Let n= 0.5 and
y= 0.6.
Equation (8.33) will be used for this problem.
Since the tool life is constant, we can write the
so that f1
=1.521/1.2= 1.96
8.147 Using Eq. (8.35), select an appropriate feed for
R= 1 mm and a desired roughness of 1 µm.
How would you adjust this feed to allow for nose

8.148 In a drilling operation, a 0.5-in. drill bit is be-
ing used in a low-carbon steel workpiece. The
The velocity of the drill into the workpiece
is v=fN = (0.010 in./rev)(700 rpm) = 7
in./min. Since the hole is to be tapped to a
depth of 1 in., it should be drilled deeper than
this distance. Note from Section 8.9.4 that the
point angle for steels ranges from 118◦to 135◦,
so that (using 118◦to get a larger number and
