Calculate cutting speed for given tool life in Taylor’s tool life equation
Question: In the Taylor’s tool life equation, VTn = C, the value of n = 0.5. The tool has a life of 180 minutes at a cutting speed of 18 m/min. If the tool life is reduced to 45 minutes, then what will be the cutting speed? [IAS 1997] This is one simple problem based on Taylor’s Tool Life equation where one combination of velocity and life is given. It
