Exponent n in Taylor’s tool life equation if doubling the cutting speed reduces tool life to 1/8
Question: In a machining operation, doubling the cutting speed reduces the tool life to 1/8th of the original value. What is the value of the exponent n in Taylor’s tool life equation? [GATE 2004] This is one simple problem that can be solved using Taylor’s Tool Life equation. In general, the tool life indicates the duration of time within which a cutting tool can provide satisfactory performance in machining. The
