Where L = length of work piece, f = feed in in/rev, N = spindle speed

Q1. Calculate spindle speed required to rough-turn 2 in. diameter piece of machine steel.
Q2. Calculate the time required to machine a 2-in. diameter machine-steel shaft 16” long to 1.850“
diameter finish size. Assume one rough pass.
