Frederick W. Taylor
Reports twenty-six years of systematic experiments on metal cutting, arguing that cutting speed, feed and tool geometry should be chosen from measured data rather than a machinist's judgement.
M. E. Merchant
Models the metal-cutting chip as sliding along a single shear plane and derives the cutting forces from that geometry, giving machinists the first predictive theory instead of an empirical feeds-and-speeds table.
