Which is the CORRECT equation for estimation of the tool life among the following, where T - tool life in minutes, V - cutting speed in m/min and C and n are constants?

Which is the CORRECT equation for estimation of the tool life among the following, where T - tool life in minutes, V - cutting speed in m/min and C and n are constants? Correct Answer VT<sup>n </sup>= C

Explanation:

Taylor’s tool life equation. 

  • Tool life of any tool for any work material is governed by machining parameters mainly cutting velocity (V), feed, and depth of cut (t). 
  • Cutting velocity affects the maximum and depth of cut minimum. 
  • Most widely used tool life equation and expressed in equation form

VTn = C

where V = Cutting velocity, T =Tool life (minutes), n = tool life exponent(generally 0.5-0.8), C = tool life constrant (Empirical)
