For carbide-tipped tools, speeds can be twice those given. Carbide-tipped tools do not operate properly at low speeds; operate at or above the minimum speed if possible. To calculate rpm from sfpm: 3.8 × speed 4 × speed rpm = ∼ d d where speed is given in sfpm and d is the diameter of the tool (mill or drill) or workpiece (lathe) in inches.

    Study Unit Toolholding Systems You’ve studied the process of machining and the various types of machine tools that are used in manufacturing. In this unit, you’ll take a closer look at the interface between the machine tools and the work piece: the toolholder and cutting tool. In today’s modern manufacturing environ ment, many sophisti- Preview Preview cated machine tools are available, including manual control and computer numerical control, or CNC, machines with spe- cial accessories to aid high-speed machining. Many of these new machine tools are very expensive and have the ability to machine quickly and precisely. However, if a careless deci- sion is made regarding a cutting tool and its toolholder, poor product quality will result no matter how sophisticated the machine. In this unit, you’ll learn some of the fundamental characteristics that most toolholders have in common, and what information is needed to select the proper toolholder. When you complete this study unit, you’ll be able to • Understand the fundamental characteristics of toolhold- ers used in various machine tools • Describe how a toolholder affects the quality of the machining operation • Interpret national standards for tool and toolholder iden- tification systems • Recognize the differences in toolholder tapers and the proper applications for each type of taper • Explain the effects of toolholder concentricity and imbalance • Access information from manufacturers about toolholder selection Remember to regularly check “My Courses” on your student homepage.
