Reference Tool Life given Cutting Velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Reference Tool Life = (Cutting Velocity/Reference Cutting Velocity)^(1/Taylor's Tool Life Exponent)*(1-Taylor's Tool Life Exponent)*(Cost of A Tool*Time to Change One Tool+Cost of A Tool)/(Taylor's Tool Life Exponent*Cost of A Tool)
L_ref = (V/V_ref)^(1/n)*(1-n)*(C_t*t_c+C_t)/(n*C_t)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Reference Tool Life - (Measured in Second) - Reference Tool Life is the Tool Life of the tool obtained in the reference machining condition.
Cutting Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Cutting Velocity is the tangential velocity at the periphery of the cutter or workpiece (whichever is rotating).
Reference Cutting Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Reference Cutting Velocity is the Cutting Velocity of the tool used in the reference machining condition.
Taylor's Tool Life Exponent - Taylor's Tool Life Exponent is an experimental exponent that helps in quantifying the rate of Tool Wear.

Time to Change One Tool - (Measured in Second) - Time to Change One Tool is the measure of time it takes to change one tool during machining.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cutting Velocity: 420 Meter per Minute --> 7 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Reference Cutting Velocity: 2.996056 Meter per Minute --> 0.0499342666666667 Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Taylor's Tool Life Exponent: 0.540818 --> No Conversion Required
Cost of A Tool: 48 --> No Conversion Required
Time to Change One Tool: 0.9 Minute --> 54 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

L_ref = (V/V_ref)^(1/n)*(1-n)*(C_t*t_c+C_t)/(n*C_t) --> (7/0.0499342666666667)^(1/0.540818)*(1-0.540818)*(48*54+48)/(0.540818*48)

Evaluating ... ...

L_ref = 435163.798940782

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

435163.798940782 Second -->7252.72998234637 Minute (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

7252.72998234637 ≈ 7252.73 Minute <-- Reference Tool Life
