Abstract
In recent years, there have been many studies concerning the effect of cutting parameters and tool parameters on the ultra precision machining of electroless nickel. However, there is no known reported study on the relationship between the cutting force and tool rake angle in ultra precision machining of electroless nickel. The objective of this study is to compare and investigate the cutting force with various rake angles for micro machining electroless nickel work pieces by theoretical analysis and experiment. Diamond tools with rake angles of-10o, 0o and 10o were used in the experiment. According to theoretical analysis, the tool with a 10o rake angle induces the smallest cutting force. However, the experiment showed that the tool with zero rake angle always gave us the smallest cutting force for all cutting speeds, cutting depths and pattern pitches.
