There are some parameters that influence the turning process, including:
Feed Rate: It determines the cutting speed of the tool needed for the workpiece. Feed rate can influence the quality of the finish and speed of production. A higher feed rate can negatively affect the surface finish.
Depth of Cut: The depth of a cutting tool varies with the workpiece radius during a turning operation. This factor impacts the part life, production rate, and finishing. You must consider the material type and hardness when determining the depth of cut.
Cutting Speed: It is the velocity of the surface material as it moves towards the cutting tool. The speed depends on the type of material, cutting tool, and the diameter of the workpiece at the cutting point. The productivity of the turning operation is also influenced by this parameter.
Other factors include metal removal rate, tool shapes, and machine power requirements.
