Abstract

This paper presents a simple procedure to obtain the instantaneous cutting force constants needed to predict milling forces. Cutting force data measured in a series of slot milling tests were used to determine the cutting force constants at different feed rates. The values of the cutting force constants were determined directly at the tool rotation angle that maximized the uncut chip thickness. Then, the instantaneous cutting force constant was obtained as a function of the instantaneous uncut chip thickness. This approach can greatly enhance the accuracy of the mechanistic cutting force model for end milling. In addition, the influences of several cutting parameters on the cutting forces, such as the tool helix angle and axial depth of cut, were discussed.
