The Effect of Component Tolerance on Optimum Machining Conditions

Summary

The economics of cutting is influenced both by resetting and replacing of tooling, on the grounds of dimensional drift and unserviceability, respectively. Finer tolerances cause a reduction in optimum speeds and feeds, and machining cost and time rise sharply for tolerances below about 0.002 in. The analysis constitutes a fairly general case; omission of the tolerance aspect results in a special case applicable primarily to roughing operations. The effect of relating tolerance to surface finish requirements is also examined.
