Reference Tool Life given Cutting Velocity evaluator uses 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) to evaluate the Reference Tool Life, The Reference Tool Life given Cutting Velocity is a method to determine the optimal Tool Sharpening period required in reference machining condition to manufacture a given batch of components such that The Total Production Cost is minimum. Reference Tool Life is denoted by Lref symbol.
How to evaluate Reference Tool Life given Cutting Velocity using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Reference Tool Life given Cutting Velocity, enter Cutting Velocity (V), Reference Cutting Velocity (Vref), Taylor's Tool Life Exponent (n), Cost of A Tool (Ct) & Time to Change One Tool (tc) and hit the calculate button.
