  1. SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL Geometry of single point cutting tools 1
  2. SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL Geometry of single point turning tools Both material and geometry of the cutting tools play very important roles on their performances in achieving effectiveness, efficiency and overall economy of machining. Cutting tools may be classified according to the number of major cutting edges (points) involved as follows: Single point: e.g., turning tools, shaping, planning and slotting tools and boring tools Double (two) point: e.g., drills Multipoint (more than two): e.g., milling cutters, broaching tools, hobs, gear shaping cutters etc. (i) Concept of rake and clearance angles of cutting tools. The word tool geometry is basically referred to some specific angles or slope of the salient faces and edges of the tools at their cutting point. Rake angle and clearance angle are the most significant for all the cutting tools. The concept of rake angle and clearance angle will be clear from some simple operations shown in Fig. 3.1 Reference plane (ltR) Fig. rake angle, Velocity vector, Vc Ref. Plane (7tR) Rake Rake and clearance angles of cutting tools. 2
  3. SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL Definition - • Rake angle (y): Angle of inclination of rake surface from reference plane • clearance angle (u): Angle of inclination of clearance or flank surface from the finished surface Rake angle is provided for ease of chip flow and overall machining. Rake angle may be positive, or negative or even zero as shown in Fig. 3.2. 7tR 7tR 7tR 0 1 (a) positive rake (b) zero rake (c) negative rake Fig. Three possible types of rake angles Relative advantages of such rake angles are: Positive rake — helps reduce cutting force and thus cutting power requirement. Negative rake — to increase edge-strength and life of the tool Zero rake — to simplify design and manufacture of the form tools. Clearance angle is essentially provided to avoid rubbing of the tool (flank) with the machined surface which causes loss of energy and damages of both the tool and the job surface. Hence, clearance angle is a must and must be positive (30 150 depending upon tool-work materials and type of the machining operations like turning, drilling, boring etc.) (ii) Systems of description of tool geometry Tool-in-Hand System where only the salient features of the cutting tool point are identified or visualized as shown in Fig. 3.3. There is no quantitative information, i.e., value of the angles.

In Machine Reference System (ASA), the three planes of reference and the coordinates are chosen based on the configuration and axes of the machine tool concerned. The planes and axes used for expressing tool geometry in ASA system for turning operation are shown in Fig. 3.4. rake surface Auxiliary cutting edge Tool nose Auxiliary flank (clearance) surface principal cutting edge principal flank (clearance) surface Fig. Basic features of single point tool (turning) in Tool-in-hand system zmv-c) 7tY feed Fig. Planes and axes of reference in ASA system 4
  5. SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL The planes of reference and the coordinates used in ASA system for tool geometry are . - ax - and Xm -Ym - zm where, TCR — Reference plane; plane perpendicular to the velocity vector (shown in Fig. 3.4) ltx = Machine longitudinal plane; plane perpendicular to TtR and taken in the direction of assumed longitudinal feed 7ty Machine Transverse plane; plane perpendicular to both 7tR and ax [This plane is taken in the direction of assumed cross feed] The axes Xm, Y m and Zm are in the direction of longitudinal feed, cross feed and cutting velocity (vector) respectively. The main geometrical features and angles of single point tools in ASA systems and their definitions will be clear from Fig. 3.5.

  6. SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL Clearance angles: [Fig. 3.5] ux = side clearance: angle of inclination of the principal flank from the machined surface (or Vc ) and measured on ltx plane. uy = back clearance: same as ux but measured on Ttyplane. Cutting angles: [Fig. 3.5] (Ps = approach angle: angle between the principal cutting edge (its proj ection on TtR) and lty and measured on 7tR (Pe = end cutting edge angle: angle between the end cutting edge (its proj ection on TtR) from TCx and measured on TtR Nose radius, r (in inch) r = nose radius : curvature of the tool tip. It provides strengthening of the tool nose and better surface finish. • Tool Reference Systems Orthogonal Rake System — ORS This system is also known as ISO — old. The planes of reference and the co-ordinate axes used for expressing the tool angles in ORS are: -no and Xo -YO -zo which are taken in respect of the tool configuration as indicated in Fig. 3.6 xo o TTC xo Itc Fig. Planes and axes of reference in ORS 6

ASA system has limited advantage and use like convenience of inspection. But ORS is advantageously used for analysis and research in machining and tool performance. But ORS does not reveal the true picture of the tool geometry when the cutting edges are inclined from the reference plane, i.e., Besides, sharpening or resharpening, if necessary, of the tool by grinding in ORS requires some additional calculations for correction of angles. 8
  9. SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL These two limitations of ORS are overcome by using NRS for description and use of tool geometry. The basic difference between QRS and NRS is the fact that in ORS rake and clearance angles are visualized m the orthogonal plane, TC whereas in NRS those angles are . usualized in another plane calYed Normal pfåne, TtN. The orthogonal plane, Ito IS simply normal to 7tR and Ttc irrespective of the Inclination 0T the cutting edges, i.e., X, but 7tN (and 7tN' for auxiliary cutting edge) is always normal to the cutting edge. The differences between ORS and NRS have been depicted in Fig. 3.9. The planes of reference and the coordinates used in NRS are: - -TtN and xn -Yn -zn where, 7tRN = normal reference plane 7tN Normal plane: plane normal to the cutting edge and xn xo Y n = cutting edge zn = normal to xn and Yn It is to be noted that when X 0, NRS and ORS become same, i.e. 7tN, Y N æY0 and znæ zo. Definition (in NRS) of Rake angles yn = normal rake: angle of inclination angle of the rake surface from 7tR and measured on normal plane, 7tN normal clearance: angle of inclination of the principal flank from 7tc and measured on auxiliary clearance angle: normal clearance of the auxiliary flank (measured on plane normal to the auxiliary cutting edge. The cutting angles, (P and (PI and nose radius, r (mm) are same in ORS and NRS. 9
