摘要：Our work focuses on the optimization of cutting tool life of a Vertical milling machine and end millingoperation is performed on it by using Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) as the cutting tool material and En8 steel (HRC 46)as work piece material to predict the tool life. End mills are used in tracer controlled profile milling operations. Theyare employed for making deep grooves in base parts, profile recesses, steps, etc. End mills can be used on horizontalmilling machine, but it is better to use them on vertical milling machine. Their diameter varies from about 3mm to50mm. They are usually made from high speed steel (HSS) or carbide, and have one or more flutes. They are the mostcommon tool used in a vertical mill. The input of the model consists of feed rate, cutting speed and depth of the cutwhile the output from the model is the tool life which is calculated by Taylor’s tool life equation. This research is totest the collecting data by Taguchi method. The model is validated through a comparison of the experimental valueswith their predicted counterparts. The optimization of the tool life is studied to compare the relationship of theparameters involved. The result of the experimental optimization shows that depth of cut was the only parameter foundto be significant. The experimental optimization also shows that the predicted values and calculated values are veryclose, that clearly indicates that the developed model can be used to reduce the cost of machining.
