Question
Consider a milling process, where a pocket with width (X) of 400mm, Length (Y) 300mm, and depth
(z) of 15 mm. The cutting tool is a 12 mm diameter flat end mill with 4 cutting edges. For some
reason, the tool can be radially immersed in the material at most 50% of the tool diameter. The
spindle speed is selected as 2000 rpm, where the max allowable axial cutting depth is 2.5 mm.
a) Calculate the number of total cutting steps, indicating which feed direction would you prefer x or
y.
It may be preferred to have feed rate can be along X direction
Total # of cutting steps: If feed direction is along X, the total number of cutting steps is 294
b) Calculate the minimum achievable cycle time if the feed rate is 0.15 mm/rev/tooth.
Approx cycle time: 98 minutes
