lõikekiirustele

Lõikekiirustele refers to cutting speeds in Estonian. This term is commonly used in manufacturing and machining contexts, describing the relative speed between a cutting tool and the workpiece during material removal operations. The optimal cutting speed is crucial for achieving efficient machining, good surface finish, and extending tool life.

Factors influencing the appropriate cutting speed include the type of material being cut, the material of the cutting tool, the depth of cut, the feed rate, and the cooling and lubrication conditions. Different materials, such as various metals, plastics, and composites, have different hardness and thermal properties, necessitating different cutting speeds for effective processing. Similarly, the cutting tool's material, whether it's high-speed steel, carbide, or ceramic, dictates how fast it can operate without overheating or deforming.

Machining operations like turning, milling, drilling, and grinding all utilize specific cutting speeds. For instance, in turning, the cutting speed is the peripheral speed of the workpiece as it rotates against the stationary cutting tool. In milling, it's the tangential speed of the cutting tool's edges as they engage the workpiece. Setting the correct lõikekiirustele is a fundamental aspect of process planning in mechanical engineering. Incorrectly set cutting speeds can lead to increased tool wear, poor surface quality, dimensional inaccuracies, or even tool breakage. Therefore, engineers and machinists often consult machining data handbooks or use specialized software to determine the appropriate cutting speeds for a given task.
