Runout geometric control is generally applied to surfaces which undergo rotation like shafts, hub , wheels etc. There are two types Circular runoutTotal runout Here is a callout of a circular runout on a stepped shaft. The primary datum feature of size is the smaller step of the shaft and the large step of the shaft is being controlled with respect to its runout within a tolerance zone of 0.1 What is the definition of the tolerance zone ? The tolerance zone for circular runout is 2D disc with a width of 0.1 spaced equally about the nominal surface of the shaft. The tolerance zone is not a cylinder but a local disc for each cross section of the shaft being inspected for circular runout. The part is held at the primary datum feature A which is smaller step and then rotated. A dial gauge indicator is in contact with the surface as shown in greenAs the part is rotated , the dial gauge deflects and gives a total indictaor reading. This variation is nothing but local runout or circular runout for that cross section. Then this is repeated for multiple cross sections of the shaft Each element is controlled separately with circular runout. Here is circular runout applied on perpendicular to axis surfaces. The tolerance zone shape changes here , it is a set of concentric circles with a width of 0.1 based on the end flat face which is being controlled. The inspection procedure remains the same , that the dial gauge indicator is brough into contact with surface and set to zero , then the total indicator movement reading is taken if its below 0.1 mm then part is acceptable in circular runout. Same drawing with total runout applied: Tolerance zone for total runout is concentric cylinders spaced with a value of 0.1 . Circular runout vs total runout: The major difference is that when Total runout is inspected the dial guage reading is taken for the complete surface as a whole at one instance and not individual cross sectionTotal runout is more stringent, a part can pass off in terms of circular runout but may fail the test for total runout.Ther tolerance zone definition changes with respect to the rotating surface targeted .There are no material modifiers attached to Runout Example of application of runout: Runout vs cylindricity? Total Runout is a composite geometric control which controls both Cylindricity, Concentricity (position) and orientation of axis. A reason why Runout is more commonly used for rotating cylindrical surfaces as compared to fundamental form controls like cylindricity. When is runout used? When symmetry and balance of part is critical around an axisTo avoid vibrations and oscillationsTotal runout is preferred when parts require tighter form control additional to orientation and position controlFor drill bits, precision rotating shafts Total runout is preferred.

How to measurerunout

End and side relief angles must be ground flat, without any concavity. Concave faces reduce the support at the cutting edge and can result in chipping or breaking.

The inspection procedure remains the same , that the dial gauge indicator is brough into contact with surface and set to zero , then the total indicator movement reading is taken if its below 0.1 mm then part is acceptable in circular runout.

Traditionally high speed steel (HSS) tools have been used for most turning operations, but carbide tipped tools are now also used. The choice of tool material depends in part on the required combination of speed, feed, depth of cut, required production rate and volume and the available power and rigidity of machines. This article gives suggested feeds and speeds for single point, form tool and cut-off (parting-off) tool geometry turning taken from the BSSA Stainless Steel Specialist Course Training Note No.9 ‘Machining Stainless Steels’.

Too high a speed can result in tool tip burning. Too low a speed can result in chip build-up on the cutting edge. As a general rule, when there are cutting problems adjust the speed first and then, where necessary, the feed second.

Form turning stainless steel should allow sufficient material to be removed to avoid surface work hardening problems. This applies to both primary and secondary cuts in multi-cut operations. Feed must be maintained as the tool enters the work-piece. For form tool turning deep or complex shapes, slower speeds should be considered. The flow of cutting fluid, (coolant), must be carefully controlled to ensure that a consistent, large flow volume is delivered to the cutting edges at all times during form tool turning of stainless steel.

Total Runout is a composite geometric control which controls both Cylindricity, Concentricity (position) and orientation of axis.

The tolerance zone shape changes here , it is a set of concentric circles with a width of 0.1 based on the end flat face which is being controlled.

End relief angles should be between 7 and 10 degrees and should be ground flat to provide maximum support for the cutting edge. Side relief angles should be between 2 and 3 degrees. For large cut depths larger the side relief angles may be needed to avoid tool seizure.

Back rake angles should be between 4 and 10 degrees. The smaller angles suit secondary cuts in multi-cut operations. The larger angles suit single cut operations or the primary cuts of multiple cut operations. Top face and back rake angles should have a smooth polished finish to avoid chip flow problems that can result in poor finish or overheating due to poor access of coolant to the cutting edges. Side relief and clearance angles should be between 1 and 5 degrees. The deeper the cut, the larger the angle. ‘Above centre’ distances should about 3mm.

The primary datum feature of size is the smaller step of the shaft and the large step of the shaft is being controlled with respect to its runout within a tolerance zone of 0.1

Either blade or circular tools can be used. Circular tools are more rigid and provide a better heat sink capacity than blade cutters and so are generally preferred for parting-off stainless steel, where sufficient cut depth is allowed by the tool geometry. Circular tools are also better for interrupted cuts as the tool passes through details like drilled holes. Back rake angles should be between 6 and 10 degrees.

A reason why Runout is more commonly used for rotating cylindrical surfaces as compared to fundamental form controls like cylindricity.

The surface speeds shown for the different tool types are at the set depths of cut and feed shown. If depth of cut and feed are increased, the speed must be reduced. Alternatively for increased speeds, reduce the depth of cut and feed. For austenitic steels, (e.g. 304, 1.4301), the depth of cut must however always undercut the induced work hardened layer, so increase in speed must be carefully limited. Similarly, it is important to leave enough steel on the surface when completing the last roughing cut to enable sufficient finishing cut depth. Where this is impractical, a carbide tool used at high speed, low feed and a shallow depth of cut is an option.

Circular tools require an end cutting edge angle relief, usually between 10 and 15 degrees. The angle should be reduced as the depth of cut increases on larger diameter work-pieces to around 5 degrees, to avoid tool deflection. These smaller angles can result in some burr being left which may have to be trimmed off with a second cut. ‘Above centre’ distances should about 3mm.
