Abstract
Cutting tools are the
main things that need to be considered in the process of cutting metal, in
generating good condition workpiece surface. Cutting tool geometry influence in
determining the selection of cutting parameters, it gives effect to the rate of
production, cutting force, cutting power and quality of the metal surface.
Manufacture of machine components using machine tools, require precision
dimensions and surface smoothness produced, to be used in accordance with its
function. Surface roughness value is the indicator that is used in producing a
product with a low surface roughness values (smooth). Cutting tool insert has
a nose radius that is varied, and this gives the effect on the resulting
surface roughness values. This study was conducted to analyze the effect of the
nose radius of cutting tools to the value of the surface roughness of steel ST
60 when the cutting process is carried out using a lathe machine. This research
was conducted with an experimental method using a CNC lathe, the workpiece
material used is steel ST 60 is generally used in the manufacture of engine
components. Cutting tools used by three types of carbide cutting tools nose
radius is 0.4 mm; 0.8 mm and 1.2 mm. Workpiece surface roughness measurement
with a surface roughness measuring instrument Mitutoyo Surftest SJ-301 type.
Results of research conducted in getting that value the highest roughness of 3.63
μm by using the tool nose radius of 0.4 mm and coolant Dromus, the lowest
roughness of 1.67 μm by using the tool nose radius of 1.2 mm and coolant
cutting APX. Viscosity is contained in the coolant also affect the value of
roughness on the Surface.
