To study the cutting forces, the carbide tip's surface temperature, and the mechanism of secondary chip and main chip formation of face milling stainless steel with a chamfered main cutting edge has been investigated. Theoretical values of cutting forces were calculated and compared to the experimental results with SUS 304 stainless steel plate as a workpiece material. Force data from these tests were used to estimate the empirical constants of the mechanical model and to verify its prediction capabilities. A comparison of the predicted and measured forces shows good agreement. A preliminary discussion is also made for the design of special tool holders and their geometrical configurations. Next, the tips mounted in the tool holders are ground to a chamfered width and the tool dimensions are measured by using a toolmaker microscope.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
