1. An orthogonal cutting operation is performed using a rake angle of 15°, to = 0.012 in and w =
0.100 in. The chip thickness ratio is measured after the cut to be 0.55. Determine: (a) chip
thickness after the cut, (b) shear angle, (c) friction angle, (d) coefficient of friction, and (e) the
shear strain.
3. In an orthogonal cutting process, the following observations were made: depth of cut
0.25mm; chip thickness ration of 0.45; width of cut 4mm; cutting velocity 40m/min. cutting
force component parallel to cutting velocity vector is 1150 N; feed force 140N; Rake angle of
the tool is 18º. Determine resultant cutting force, power of cutting, shear angle, friction angle

4. A seamless tube 32mm outside diameter is turned on a lathe. Cutting velocity of the tool
relative to the workpiece is 10 m/min. Rake angle = 35º, depth of cut = 0.125mm, length of
chip = 60 mm, horizontal cutting force of the tool on the workpiece = 200 N, vertical cutting
force required to hold the tool against the work = 80 N. Calculate: (a) Coefficient of friction,
(b) Chip thickness ratio (c) Shear plane angle (d) Velocity of chip relative to the tool (e)
Velocity of chip relative to the workpiece.
5. While turning a C-15 steel rod of 160 mm diameter at 315 rpm, 2.5 mm depth of cut and
feed of 0.16 mm/rev by a tool of geometry 0º, 10º, 8º, 9º,15º, 75º, 0(mm), the following
observations were made.
Tangential component of the cutting force = 500 N Axial component of the cutting force =
200 N Chip thickness = 0.48 mm. Draw schematically the Merchant’s circle diagram for the
cutting force in the present case.
6. The following data from the orthogonal cutting test is available. Rake angle = 10º, chip

(iv) Shear force on the tool (Fs).
7. An HSS tool is used for turning operation. The tool life is 1 hr. when turning is carried at
30 m/min. The tool life will be reduced to 2.0 min if the cutting speed is doubled. Find the
suitable speed in RPM for turning 300 mm diameter so that tool life is 30 min.
8. The shaft shown in the figure below is to be machined on a lathe from a Ø25 mm bar.
Calculate the machining time if speed v is 60m/min; turning feed is 0.2mm/rev, drill feed is
0.8 mm/rev and knurling feed is 0.3 mm/rev.
