Taylor Tool Life Exponent
Taylor Tool Life Exponent is an experimental exponent that helps in quantifying the rate of tool wear.
Symbol: y
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Taylor's Constant
Taylor's Constant is an experimental constant that depends mainly upon the tool-work materials and the cutting environment.
Symbol: C
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Cutting Velocity
Cutting Velocity is the velocity at the periphery of the cutter or workpiece (whichever is rotating).
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Feed Rate
Feed Rate is defined as the tool's distance travelled during one spindle revolution.
Symbol: f
Measurement: FeedUnit: mm/rev
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Taylor's Exponent for Feed Rate in Taylors Theory
Taylor's Exponent for Feed Rate in Taylors Theory is an experimental exponent used to draw a relation between feed rate to workpiece and tool life.
Symbol: a
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Depth of Cut
Depth of Cut is the tertiary cutting motion that provides a necessary depth of material that is required to remove by machining. It is usually given in the third perpendicular direction.
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Taylor's Exponent for Depth of Cut
Taylor's Exponent for Depth of Cut is an experimental exponent used to draw a relation between the depth of cut to workpiece and tool life.
Symbol: b
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Tool Life in Taylors Theory
Tool Life in Taylors Theory is the period of time for which the cutting edge, affected by the cutting procedure, retains its cutting capacity between sharpening operations.
Symbol: L
Measurement: TimeUnit: h
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
