A vertical boring mill is used to bore the inside diameter of a large batch of tube-shaped parts. The diameter = 28.0 in and the length of the bore = 14.0 in. Current cutting conditions are: speed = 200 ft/min, feed = 0.015 in/rev, and depth = 0.125 in. The parameters of the Taylor equation for the cutting tool in the operation are: n = 0.23 and C = 850 (ft/min). Tool change time = 3.0 min, and tooling cost = $3.50 per cutting edge. The time required to load and unload the parts = 12.0 min, and the cost of machine time on this boring mill = $42/hr. Management has decreed that the production rate must beincreased by 25%. Is that possible? Assume that feed must remain unchanged to achieve the required surface finish. Whatis the current production rate and themaximum possible production rate for this job?
