Turning Force Estimate

[Griff0427]

Does anyone know how to estimate the force that is put on an insert? I am working with some college students and they asked me for the force and I have never needed it and am not sure how to determine it.

Are you referring to "tool pressure"?

 

[Griff0427]

Yes. Tool pressure would be great.

If you can find a copy of 'Modern Metal Cutting' put out by Sandvik Coromant it covers the subject rather well.
