Explanation:
For stability of cutting edge negative rake angle is provided on the cemented carbide tool.
Positive rake – helps reduce cutting force and thus cutting power requirement.
Negative rake – to increase edge-strength and life of the tool
Zero rake – to simplify the design and manufacture of the form tools
Negative back rake angle is preferable for a carbide tool. Carbide tools are very brittle in nature, so deformation occurs if we provide a positive back rake angle.
Positive back rake angle is used for machining low tensile strength and non-ferrous materials. Negative back rake angles are used for machining high tensile strength material, heavy feed, and interrupted cuts.
