TECH 1010 Manufacturing Processes-II

Assignment-IV
1. Compare up-milling and down-milling. ( 3 points)

2. How can a milling machine be selected? ( 3 points)

3. Discuss peripheral milling in detail with a neat sketch. ( 4 points)

4. A slab milling operation is performed to finish the top surface of a steel rectangular workpiece
12.0 in long by 6 in wide. The helical milling cutter, which has a 3.5 in diameter and ten teeth, is
set up to overhang the width of the part on both sides. The cutting speed is 125 ft/min, the chip
load (Feed/tooth) is 0.008 in/tooth, and the depth of cut is 0.300 in. Determine the time to make
one pass across the surface assuming that the tool starts its journey exactly at one end of the
workpiece and stops at other end. ( 4 points)

5. What is a machining center? ( 3 points)

6. What are the advantages of ATC and APC? ( 3 points)
