Question

The length, width and thickness of a steel sample are 400 mm, 40 mm and 20 mm, respectively. Its thickness needs to be uniformly reduced by 2 min in a single pass by using horizontal slab milling. The milling cutter (diameter: 100 mm, width: 50 mm) has 20 teeth and rotates at 1200 rpm. The feed per tooth is 0.05 mm. The feed direction is along the length of the sample. If the over travel distance is the same as the approach distance, the approach distance and time taken to complete the required machining task are

Options :

  1. 14mm, 18.4 s

  2. 21mm, 28.9 s

  3. 21 mm, 39.4 s

  4. 14mm, 21.4s

Show Answer

Answer :

14mm, 21.4s

Solution :

Cutter diameter, D = 100 mm

Cutter width = 50 mm that means single pass is sufficient

Number of teeth, z = 20,

Depth of cut, d = 2 mm

Rotational speed, N = 1200 rpm,

f = 0.05 mm per tooth

Approach distance,

                                           A 


Time for one pass in slab or slot milling =  for rough milling =  for finish milling

As length of approach and over travel are same

                                                                                      =
