Why have a feed force in the cutting process?

Click For Summary
The discussion highlights the importance of feed force in the cutting process, particularly in relation to the cutter's profile and rake angle. A positive rake angle can enhance the cutter's ability to engage with the material, while a negative rake angle may require more robust machinery due to the potential for the cutter to be pushed away from the material. The effectiveness of cutting tools is influenced by their geometry, with dull or rounded edges increasing the necessary feed force. The conversation suggests that a simplified context, such as using a parting-off tool in a lathe, can clarify the relationship between rake angle and feed force. Overall, understanding these dynamics is crucial for optimizing machining performance.

You knew there is a cutting force in the orthogonal process, it is exerted by cutting speed, buy why have a feed force?

The profile of the cutter has an effect on the force needed to feed the cutter into the cut.
A tool steel saw with positive rake may hook or pull the cutter into the material.
A carbide cutter with negative rake may be forced back from the material.
The increased use of negative rake requires stronger, more rigid machine tools with more powerful feed.

What material are you machining?
What tool material and profile are you using?

thank you, but you knew whatever the type of tool, there is no motion in the direction of feed force. If the rake angle equal to zero, is there a feed force?
 
There are too many different possible interpretations of the cutting geometry. The relative motion of the work and the tool in 3D have not been specified.

You need to restrict the discussion to a simple situation, such as a parting-off tool in a lathe. A zero rake angle would then have a low feed force while the edge was perfect. The moment the cutting edge became slightly dull or rounded, it would present a higher feed force, but it would continue to cut.
 
Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
