Abstract: Although the chip formation mechanism by a tool having a large negative rake angle is not well known, it is very important to make the process clear in order to get high quality in finished ...

Abstract: The basic, remarkable properties lying in the three-workpiece lapping process were previously described by the authors. It was assured there that highly flat surfaces can be obtained predicting ...

Abstract: A new method, designated three-workpiece lapping, is proposed to produce flat surfaces of all the three workpieces prepared through some stages of reciprocation lapping, which is performed by a ...
