Question:

Tool wear is a major consideration in machining operations. The following relation was developed by F. W. Taylor for the machining of steels:

VTn = C

where V is the cutting speed; T is the tool life; the exponent n depends on the tool, the material being cut, and the cutting conditions; and C is a constant. If n = 0.5 and C = 400 mm/min0.5 in the equation, determine the percentage increase in tool life when the cutting speed is reduced by 50%.
