Undesirable burrs are created out of a machining process. The objective of the present work is to explore the suitable condition to obtain no burr, or negligible burr, around the edge of a machined product at wet condition. Face milling experiments have been carried out on blocks made of aluminum alloy (Alloy-4600M) with a single, coated-carbide inserted cutter for observing the nature of burr formation. Depth of cut has been maintained constant at 3 mm for all sets of experiments. In each experiment set, three cutting velocities (170 m/min, 237 m/min and 339 m/min) and three in-plane exit angles of 30°, 60° and 90° are provided at three different feeds of 0.08 mm/tooth, 0.1 mm/tooth and 0.12 mm/tooth. First set of experiments are done without any exit edge bevel. Similar sets of experiments are carried out with 15° and 30° exit edge bevel angles to find out the condition for minimum burr. The bevel is made of a height of 3 mm. In the present experimental investigation, a minimum burr height of as low as 3 micron is obtained at an in-plane exit angle of 30° and exit edge bevel angle of 15° under the machining condition of 339 m/min cutting velocity and 0.1 mm/tooth feed.
