Investigation of cutting force in face milling

Abstract

The increase of cutting applied in finishing processes can be achieved first of all by increasing the cutting speed and feed. In face milling, if feed fz per tooth is increased and/or the shape of the chip cross section is changed, the load of the cutting edges changes and influences the cutting forces and the actual efficiency. In this paper, the cutting force arising in chip removal and changing under the influence of the increased feed is analysed.
