In a turning operation on plain carbon steel whose Brinell hardness = 275 HB, the cutting speed is set at 200 m/min and depth of cut = 6.0 mm. The lathe motor is rated at 25 kW, and its mechanical efficiency = 90%. Using the appropriate specific energy value from Table 21.2, determine the maximum feed that can be set for this operation. Use of a spreadsheet calculator is recommended for the iterative calculations required in this problem.
