Tool Life
Tool Life is the period of time for which the cutting edge, affected by the cutting procedure, retains its cutting capacity between sharpening operations.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TimeUnit: min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Machining Time
Machining Time is the time when a machine is actually processing something, generally, machining time is the term used when there is a removal of unwanted material.
Symbol: tm
Measurement: TimeUnit: min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Rate of Increase of Wear Land Width
Rate of Increase of Wear Land Width is the increase in the width of the region where wear occurs in a tool per unit time.

Measurement: SpeedUnit: mm/min
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Reference Tool Life
Reference Tool Life is the tool Life of the tool obtained in the reference machining condition.
Symbol: Tref
Measurement: TimeUnit: min
