The speed of the spindle has a great influence on the life of the cutting tool and performance in the process of metal cutting. In order to obtain improved quality of surface finish, accuracy of dimensions, rate of material removal, and extended cutting tool life, correct selection of spindle speed is very important. Although very high spindle speeds increase the heat generated, increase the wear of cutting tool, and cause vibration thus reducing machining efficiency, very low spindle speeds reduce efficiency. This present research is carried out to study the effect of changing spindle speeds on tool life and machining performance in turning process. The lathe machine was run under controlled machining processes during the experimentation process. From the results obtained, optimum spindle speed will yield good machining performance with good surface finish while ensuring that the wear on the tool is minimal. Although increasing the spindle speed increased the rate of production, it was also accompanied by faster tool wear due to overheating of the tool. From the findings of this experiment, it is clear that controlling the spindle speed is crucial in machining processes.
KEYWORDS
The research sought to investigate the effects of varying spindle speeds on tool life and machine performance in a turning process. Based on experimental results, spindle speed plays an important role in material removal rate, cutting temperature, surface finish, and cutting tool wear behavior. Despite low cutting temperature and cutting tool wear as a result of slow spindle speed, it reduced the efficiency of machining. Despite causing faster cutting tool wear due to high heat production, higher spindle speeds improved material removal rate and efficiency.With low tool wear, better surface finish, and stability in the cutting process, moderate spindle speed (700 RPM) provided the highest efficiency in machining among all experimental variables. In light of experimental results, it is clear that industrial organizations should improve spindle speed for effective machining, quality products, and cutting tool longevity.
