Course overview

The course focuses on selecting cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut for both roughing and finishing, while examining how these parameters influence machining performance, surface quality, tool wear, and chip formation. Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, you will develop the skills needed to plan machining operations, define operation sequences, and determine optimal parameters for turning components. 

What you will learn: 

  • Key aspects influencing the selection of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut in turning operations. 
  • How to choose appropriate machining parameters for roughing and finishing based on material, tooling, and surface quality requirements. 
  • Factors affecting feed rate selection, including material removal rate, cutting forces, chip evacuation, and tool life. 
  • How process planning decisions, operation sequencing, and parameter selection work together to optimize turning operations.
