A 3/4" diameter hole is to be drilled through 3/4" thick piece of steel plate. The twist drill is to be fed at 0.025 ipr. Maximum cutting speed of 70 fpm is recommended.
Calculate:
A) Cutting time
B) Metal Removal Rate (MRR)
Given that,
Diameter of hole (D) = 3/4 in = 0.75 in
Thickness of plate (t) = 3/4 in = 0.75 in
feed rate is (f) = 0.025 inches per revolution
cutting seed (N) = 70 feet per minute = 357 rpm
A)
Cutting time is given by,
B)
