Why have a feed force in the cutting process?

AI Thread 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.

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.
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
