Two cutting tools with tool life equations given below are being compared:
$$\eqalign{ & Tool\,\,1:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V{T^{0.1}} = 150 \cr & Tool\,\,2:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V{T^{0.3}} = 300 \cr} $$
where $$V$$ is cutting speed in $$m/minute$$ and $$T$$ is tool life in minutes. The breakeven cutting speed beyond which Tool $$2$$ will have a higher tool life is _______________ $$m/minute$$.

The too life equation for $$HSS$$ tool is $$V{T^{0.14}}\,\,{f^{0.7}}\,\,{d^{0.4}} = $$ Constant. The tool life $$(T)$$ of $$30$$ $$min$$ is obtained using the following cutting conditions $$=45$$ $$m/min,$$ $$f=0.35mm,$$ $$d=2.0$$ $$mm.$$ If speed $$(V),$$ feed $$(f)$$ and depth of cut $$(D)$$ are increased individually by $$25\% ,$$ the tool life (in $$min$$) is

In a single point turning operation with cemented carbide tool and steel work piece, it is found that the Taylor's exponent is $$0.25.$$ If the cutting speed is reduced by $$50\% $$ then the tool life changes by ____________ times.

For an orthogonal cutting operation, tool material is $$HSS,$$ rake angle is $${22^ \circ },$$ chip thickness is $$0.8$$ $$mm,$$ speed is $$48$$ $$m/min$$ and feed is $$0.4$$ $$mm/rev$$. The shear plane angle (in degrees) is
