EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF DOUBLE POINT CUTTING TOOL ON FEED FORCE DURING TURNING OF MILD STEEL BAR

A special type of a tool is designed and made to have two cutting points for turning long workpieces and it may be termed as the double point cutting tool. The double point cutting tool has two cutting points which has the height difference of 0.5 mm and the distance between them is 6 mm. So that when the first cutting point takes 0.5 mm depth of cut and next to that the second cutting point also takes 0.5 mm depth of cut as the tool proceeds for turning. Hence the total machining time is reduced considerably. Investigation on feed force during turning of Mild Steel bar by using HSS Double Point Cutting Tool for different cutting conditions is presented in this Research article.
