What is feed and depth of cut

Question

Accepted Answer

Feed and depth of cut are parameters used in machining to control the rate of material removal and the depth of the cut.

Feed refers to the distance the cutting tool advances during each revolution or stroke.
Depth of cut refers to the amount of material that is removed in a single pass.
Feed and depth of cut are important factors in determining the efficiency and quality of the machining process.
Higher feed rates and deeper depths of cut can result in faster material removal but may also increase tool wear and reduce surface finish.
Optimizing feed and depth of cut requires balancing material removal rate, tool life, and surface finish requirements.
