Effect of end cutting edge angle on tool life Consider the end cutting edge angle in single-point turning tools and its influence on edge rubbing and heat. State how a larger end cutting edge angle affects tool life.

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Increases tool life

Explanation:

Concept/Approach
A larger end cutting edge angle reduces rubbing of the end flank against the newly machined surface, lowering frictional heating and wear.


Step-by-step reasoning
• Larger angle → better end clearance → less contact/rubbing.• Less heat at the end flank → slower wear progression → longer life.


Final Answer
Increases tool life
