Effect of tool length on plain turning performance

The purpose of this research paper is to find a correlation between surface roughness and cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and tool overhang) especially tool overhang as the output response variable in turning Aluminum Alloy 6061 without using supported (tailstock) and in...

Dry cutting (without using cutting fluid) are conducted to stimulate a good turning, provide a clean environment to obtain undisturbed clear cutting vibration, which result in more accurate and clear correlation between cutting condition and surface roughness. Examine the relationship that exists between the length, at a specific diameter, and surface roughness of bar stock in unsupported turning operations in an attempt to reduce setup waste in turning operations.
