Minimal thickness of cut layer in the vicinity of the cutting edge rounding

Abstract

The article presents an evaluation of the results of experimental tests useful for determining the minimum thickness of cut during machining of single-point tools of defined geometry. After completing the tests for several cut materials and types of tool materials, extrapolation equations were developed while maintaining constant temperature. Factors interfering with the mechanism of separation, influencing the measurements of the components of the cutting force and the cutting temperature depend on the cut material and the material of the tool.
