A 150 mm long 15 mm diameter stainless steel rod is to be reduced in a diameter to 12 mm by turning on a lathe one pass. The spindle rotates at 500 rpm and tool is travelling at an axial speed of 200 mm/ min. What is the time required for machining the steel rod:

  • A.2 min
  • B.2.75 min
  • C.0.75 min
  • D.3.75 min

Answer: C

The machining time is 0.75 min.

The tool travels along the full 150 mm length once, at an axial speed of 200 mm/min:

\[ T = \frac{150}{200} = 0.75\ \text{min} \]

The spindle speed and the diameters are not needed, since the axial feed rate is given directly in mm per minute: 500 rpm and 200 mm/min only fix the feed per revolution, 0.4 mm. 2 min, 2.75 min and 3.75 min would need a much slower feed or a longer travel.
