What factors govern selection of the values of cutting velocity, feed and depth of cut while
carrying out a turning operation in a lathe?
A speed gear box (SGB) is to be designed for a 6-speed drilling machine to be used for
drilling holes of diameter ranging from 10 mm to 40 mm in only cast iron and mild steel
plates by HSS drills. Determine the values of all those 6 spindle speeds and schematically
draw the gearing diagram and the corresponding Ray diagram for that SGB.
