Textbook Question
Chapter 24, Problem 1CS
The KC Machine Works, which does job shop machining, has received an order to make 40 duplicate pieces, made of AISI 4140 steel, which will require 1 hr/piece of actual cutting time if a high-speedsfeel (M1) milling cutter is used. Abigail Langley, a new machinist, says the cutting time could be reduced significantly if the company would purchase a suitable tungsten carbide milling cutter. Paul Zachary, the foreman for the milling area, says he does not believe that Abigail’s estimate is realistic, and he is not going to spend $450 (the current price from the vendor) of the company’s money on a carbide cutter that probably would not be used again. The machine hour rate, including labor for the shop is S40/h.
Abigail and Paul have come to you, the manufacturing engineer (MfE) of the plant, for a decision on whether to buy the cutter, which is readily available from a local supplier.
What factors should you consider in this situation? How much faster could the carbide cutter cut compared to the HSS cutter? See Table CS-24. Based on your best guess as to the savings in actual cutting time per piece, who do you think is correct: Abigail or Paul?
