What are the two basic ways of metal cutting using a single-point cutting tool and a multi-point cutting tool? Correct Answer “Orthogonal” and “Oblique” cutting

Explanation:

  • During machining, based on the direction of chip flow and orientation of cutting edge, the machining operation is broadly divided into two types.
  • They are as follows:

Orthogonal Cutting

Oblique Cutting

In orthogonal cutting, the cutting edge is perpendicular to the direction of the tool-travel.

In oblique cutting, the angle between the cutting edge and direction of tool-travel is less than 90°.

The chip flow angle is zero.

The chip flow angle is more than zero.

The tool life is less.

Tool life is more.

Two components of forces.

  • Axial (Px)
  • Tangential (Pz)

Three components of forces.

  • Axial (Px)
  • Tangential (Pz)
  • Radial (Pxy)

Poor surface finish.

Good surface finish.

Used in slotting, parting, grooving, pipe cutting.

Used in turning, milling, drilling, grinding.
