Summary
Since F. W. Taylor first expressed the life of cutting tools in a mathematical form, several workers have proposed alternative equations. The important equations used in the past are reviewed and their validity discussed. The effects of tool-life criteria and machining conditions are considered, and the feasibility of incorporating the various equations into economic machining analyses are discussed.
