Abstract: A new approach to the macro-level optimization of tool geometro in machining is proposed. Methods for characterizing the tool material, the work material and the optimum tool geometry are ...

Abstract: Experimental studies have been conducted with driven rotary tools on various work materials, using specially constructed test rigs. The studies include the effect of rotary speed on the geometry, ...

Abstract: The steps by which a tool life analysis applicable to orthogonal cutting can be extended to accommodate tool obliquity are detailed. By following these, a relation between tool-life, T , tool ...
