Manufacturing: Advanced Manufacturing - MFG 213

Machining Speeds and Feeds

2 Credit Hours
1 Lecture Hours
1 Laboratory Hours

Course Description

This course will cover machining speeds and feeds of various materials. The students will learn to calculate cutting speeds and feeds as they would experience in a real world machining job environment. Particular course emphasis will be on calculating spindle speeds, feed rates, surface feet per minute and horsepower requirements for different materials. There also will be a focus on radial chip production and analysis.

Prerequisites
