Cutting Tool Requirements:
The cutting tool must have the following Requirements for long tool life.
1. Hot Hardness:
The cutting tool has the ability to attain its hardness at higher temperature .the cutting tool should able to withstand high temperature.
2. TOUGHNESS:
Cutting tool has the ability to resist shock, vibrations occur while cutting operation, by this process cutting tool become weak.
3.Easy to Manufacture:
The design of the tool should be simple and easy, so it can be easily shaped and machined.
4. Resonable Cost:
The cutting tool cost should be minimum.
5. Coefficient Of Friction:
Coefficient of friction should be minimum for a cutting to obtain a better surface finish.
6. Thermal conductivity:
The cutting tool material should posses high Thermal conductivity for quick removal of heat.
7. Wear Resistance:
It should able to resist wear, the cutting tool must be high resistance, there by increasing the life of the tool.
