a) How do you classify cutting tool? Brief them. Explain importance and functions of single point cutting tool with a neat sketch Sketch a three view diagram of 25 mm square tool bit having tool signature (i) 15 0,15 0,10 0, 10 0,15 0, 100, 3 mm (ii) -8 0, 80, 10 0, 100, 60, 6 mm (ii) 100, 100, 60, 60, 80, 0 0, 0.8 mm and make various parts and angles over it.

a) Differentiate orthogonal cutting and oblique cutting. b) Derive the formula for stress developed in shearing zone for orthogonal cutting. c) Explain briefly about chip breakers, what are the common methods of chip breaking and what are the means for

the same? 5
a) Derive an expression for optimum value of cutting speed. b) In orthogonal cutting of a mild steel bar 60mm diameter on a lathe a feed of 0.8mm /rev was used. A continuous

chip of 1.4mm was removed at a rotational speed of 80rpm.Caluculate total length of chip removed in one minute? 6
a) Derive the expressions for chip reduction coefficient in single point tool. State the assumptions made. b) Discuss the various forces encountered in metal cutting. c) Show schematically Merchants force circle in orthogonal cutting. Derive the equations for shear and friction

forces in terms of the material properties and cutting process parameters. Give in detail the assumptions made while arriving at the final equations. 7 8
a) What is tool life? What is the significance of tool life to an engineer who is interested in productivity? b) Discuss the forms of tool life equations generally used with their applicability. c) Discus Taylor's relationship for cutting speed tool life.` d) While machining a mild steel bar with H.S.S tool the Cutting speed is 32m/min, tool life is 50 min, If cutting

speed is increased by 50%, how tool life is affected. Take n=0.2. 9 10 Define machinability index. What are the variables affecting machinability? / Explain how it is influenced by various factors?
a) Discuss important properties of cutting tool, what are the essential criteria for a cutting tool to give maximum

production?
b) What are the types of tool materials used in metal cutting? Discuss their importance. c) What are the desirable characteristics of a cutting tool material? Explain how these are satisfied in the case of

high speed steel tools. 11 12 What are functions of a cutting fluid? Discuss various methods of applying cutting fluid. Discuss various types of tool wear, Why tool wear is important in metal cutting?
