“…The machinability of CFRP is notorious [8], [9] due to its inhomogeneity, anisotropic nature and different composed phase properties of carbon fiber phase and matrix phase, which results in some easily detected defects including fiber pull-out, matrix cracking, burrs and delamination [2], [10], [11]. Beside of this, extrinsic factors, including tool geometry [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], tool material, support plates [18], [19], [20], machining parameters [12], [21], [22] and workpiece shapes [23], [24], can also influence the machined surface during drilling CFRPs.…”
