A cylindrical bar is to be turned. The maximum allowance feed is 0.2
mm/revolution and at this feed rate Taylor’s tool life equation for a tool-
work combination is found to be VT^0.25 = 75, where V is the cutting
speed in m/min and T is the corresponding tool life in minutes. The labor
cost and overhead cost is 0.15 INR per minute and tool cost involved in
each regrinding of the tool is 2.50 INR. On the breakage, it takes about 2
minutes to change the tool. Estimate the cutting speed that will lead to the
minimum cost.

During the turning of a 20mm-diameter steel bar at a spindle speed of 400
rpm, a tool life of 20 minute is obtained. When the same bar is turned at
200 rpm, the tool life becomes 60 minute. Assume that Taylor’s tool life
equation is valid. When the bar is turned at 300 rpm, the tool life (in
minute) is approximately.
