The speed at which the cutting tool comes in contact with the cutting edge of the cutting tool is called the cutting speed. The cutting tool moves the slide to the desired depth inside the workpiece and cuts it into chips. The cutting tool and the workpiece are used to cut into the workpiece. Depth of cut depends on the material. Cutting Tool.











The movement of the cutting tool is called Adjusting Motion. Once the Depth of Cut is reached, the cutting chip is removed by moving the cutting blade toward the Head Stock / Chuck. This movement between the workpiece and the cutting tool and moving toward the chuck is called feed motion. Therefore, the cutting speed is the rate at which the chip removal occurs when a combination of Adjusting Motion and Feed Motion occurs.
