Cast, formed and shaped products may need further
machining operations to give them the desired final shape,
after removal of extra material in the form of chips.
Machining processes or Metal cutting
process is defined as remove unwanted
material from a work piece by
1.CUTTING ( As in case of machine tools like lathe, shaper etc)
2.ABRASIVE ( As in case of a grinding wheel)
3.NON TRADITIONAL ( Processes such as EDM, ECM Etc.)

2.SINGLE POINT CUTTING
TOOL
The single point cutting tool has only one cutting point
or edge. These tools used for turning, boring, shaping
or planning operations. These tools used on lathe,
boring and shaper machines.
Three most common machining processes: (a) turning,
TURNING DRILLING

Shear force Fsand Normal force to shear Fn
 The metal cutting is done by a relative motion
between the work piece and the hard edge of a
cutting tool. Metal cutting could be done either by
a single point cutting tool or a multi point cutting
tool. There are two basic types of metal cutting by
a single point cutting tool.
1.ORTHOGONAL METAL CUTTING,
2.OBLIQUE METAL CUTTING,
1.ORTHOGONAL METAL CUTTING
Assumes that the cutting edge of the tool is
set in a position that is perpendicular to the
direction of relative work or tool motion. This
allows us to deal with forces that act only in
one plane.
2.OBLIQUE METAL CUTTING,
If the cutting face of the tool is inclined at less
than 90o
to the path of the tool then the
cutting action is called as oblique cutting.
S.N
o. ORTHOGONAL METAL CUTTING OBLIQUE METAL CUTTING
1.
Cutting edge of the tool is
perpendicular to the direction
of tool travel.
The cutting edge is inclined at an
angle less than 90o
 to the
direction of tool travel.
2.
The direction of chip flow is
perpendicular to the cutting
edge.
The chip flows on the tool face
making an angle.
3.
The chip coils in a tight flat
spiral
The chip flows side ways in a long
curl.
4.
For same feed and depth of cut
the force which shears the metal
acts on a smaller areas.  So the
life of the tool is less.
The cutting force acts on larger
area and so tool life is more.
5. Produces sharp corners.
Produces a chamfer at the end of
the cut
6.
Smaller length of cutting edge is
in contact with the work.
For the same depth of cut greater
length of cutting edge is in
contact with the work.
7.
Generally parting off in lathe,
broaching and slotting operations
are done in this method.
This method of cutting is used in
almost all machining operations.
Elements of Metal Cutting
1.Cutting speed : The relative surface speed between the tool &
the job. It is the distance traveled by work surface related to the
cutting edge of Tool v = πdN / 1000 m / min
2.Feed (s) : The motion of cutting edge of tool with reference to
one revolution of work piece. 
3.Depth of cut (t) : It is measured perpendicular to axis of work
piece and in straight turning in one pass. This can be estimated
from the relation t = ( D - d ) / 2 mm
4.Undeformed chip (Fc) : The cross sectional area of chip before
it is removed from work piece. it is equal to the product of feed
and depth of cut. Fc = s x t mm2
All tools have a major and minor cutting edge. The major
cutting edge removes bulk of material. Where as the minor
cutting edge gives good surface finish.
Elements of Metal Cutting
3.SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOLS
Nomenclature,
Part Description
Shank It is the body of the tool which is ungrounded.
Face It is the surface over which the chip slides.
Base It is the bottom surface of the shank.
Flank
It is the surface of the tool facing the work piece. There are
two flanks namely end flank and side flank.
Cutting
edge
It is the junction of the face end the flanks. There are two
cutting edges namely side cutting edge and end cutting edge.
Nose It is the junction of side and end cutting edges.
PARTS OF A SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL
Unit1
IMPORTANT ANGLES OF A SINGLE POINT
CUTTING TOOL
1.Relief or clearance angle
•Side relief
•End relief
2.Rake angle
•Back Rake angle
•Side Rake angle
3.Cutting edge angle
•Side Cutting edge angle
•End Cutting edge angle
4.Nose Radius
Relief or Clearance angle:
Ground on the end and side faces of a tool to prevent it from
rubbing on the work piece. To enable only the cutting edge to
touch the work piece.
Side Relief angle:
• Angle ground directly below the cutting edge on the flank of
the tool
End Relief angle:
• Angle ground from the nose of the tool
Cutting edge angle
• Ground on a tool so that it can be mounted in the
correct position for various machining operations.
Side Cutting edge angle
• Allows flank of the tool to approach the work piece first
• Spreads the material over a greater distance on the cutting
edge, thereby thinning out the chip.
• Approximately 150
End Cutting edge angle
• Allows the cutting tool to machine close to the work piece
during turning operations
• Usually 20 – 300
TOOL ANGLE APPLICATION
Factors to consider for tool angles
•The hardness of the metal
•Type of cutting operation
•Material and shape of the cutting tool
•The strength of the cutting edge
TYPES OF CHIPS
Chips are separated from the Workpiece to impart
the required size and shape to the Workpiece. The
type of chips edge formed is basically a function of
the work material and cutting conditions. The
chips that are formed during metal cutting
operations can be classified into four types:
1.Discontinuous or segmental chips
2. Continuous chips
3. Continuous chips with built-up edge.
4. Non homogenous chips
When brittle materials like cast iron are cut, the
deformed material gets fractured very easily and
thus the Chip produced is in the form of
discontinuous segments
Reasons:
•Ductile work materials
•High cutting speeds
•Small feeds and depths
•Sharp cutting edge
•Low tool-chip friction
1.DISCONTINUOUS OR SEGMENTAL CHIPS
2.CONTINUOUS CHIPS
Continuous chips are normally produced when
machining steel or
ductile materials at high cutting speeds. The
continuous chip which
is like a ribbon flows along the rake face.
Reasons:
•Brittle work materials
• Low cutting speeds
• Large feed and depth of cut
• High tool-chip friction
3. Continuous chips with built-up edge.
When the friction between tool and chip is high while
machining ductile materials, some particles of chip adhere
to the tool rake face near the tool tip. When such sizeable
material piles upon the rake face
Reasons:
•Ductile materials
•Low-to-medium cutting speeds
•Tool-chip friction
•BUE forms, then breaks off,
cyclically
Cutting Tool Properties
1.Hardness
Cutting tool material must be 1 1/2 times harder than the
material it is being used to machine. hardness and strength at
high temperatures.
Capable of maintaining a red hardness during machining
operation
Red hardness: ability of cutting tool to maintain sharp cutting
edge at elevated temp.
It is also sometimes referred to as hot hardness or hot strength
2.Wear Resistance
Able to maintain sharpened edge throughout the cutting
operation
Same as abrasive resistance
3.Shock Resistance
Able to take the cutting loads and forces
4.Shape and Configuration
Must be available for use in different sizes and shapes.
CUTTING TOOL MATERIALS
A cutting tool is any tool that is used to remove
metal from the work piece by means of shear
deformation.
It is one of most important components in
machining process
It must be made of a material harder than the
material which is to be cut, and the tool must be
able to withstand the heat generated in the metal
cutting process.
