Q9. Two cutting tools are being compared for a machining operation. The tool life
equations are:
Carbide tool: VT1.6 = 3000
HSS tool: VT0.6 = 200
Where V is the cutting speed in m/min and T is the tool life in min. The carbide
toll will provide higher tool life if the cutting speed in m/min exceeds
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
