Reference Tool Life given Production Batch and Machining Conditions evaluator uses Reference Tool Life = Machining Time For Tool Life Production*Batch Size*((Cutting Velocity/Reference Cutting Velocity)^(1/Taylor's Tool Life Exponent))/Number of Tools Used to evaluate the Reference Tool Life, The Reference Tool Life given Production Batch and Machining Conditions is a method to determine the optimal Tool Sharpening period required for a known Cutting Velocity in reference machining condition to manufacture a given batch of components. Reference Tool Life is denoted by Lref symbol.
How to evaluate Reference Tool Life given Production Batch and Machining Conditions using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Reference Tool Life given Production Batch and Machining Conditions, enter Machining Time For Tool Life Production (tb), Batch Size (Nb), Cutting Velocity (V), Reference Cutting Velocity (Vref), Taylor's Tool Life Exponent (n) & Number of Tools Used (Nt) and hit the calculate button.
