Rise in cutting force causes tool damage and worsens product quality resulting in machining accuracy deterioration. Especially, fragile material cutting brings about breakage of material and worsens product surface quality. In this study, we trace the locus of cutting force and examine the machined surface corresponding to the cutting force loci. and build up a monitoring system for deciding normal operation or not of cutting process.

This research suggests a cutting force model for the ball end milling processes. This model includes the effect of tool run out and tool deflection. In the proposed model, the flutes of ball end mills are considered as series of infinitesimal elements and each cutting edge is assumed to be straight for the analysis of the oblique cutting process, in which the small cutting edge element has been analyzed as an orthogonal cutting process n the plane including the cutting velocity and the chip-flow vector. Therefor, the cutting forces can be calculated through the model using the orthogonal cutting data obtained from the orthogonal cutting test. In order to enhance the performance of the model, the flutes of ball end mill are defined to keep geometric consistency at the peak of the ball part and the junction with the end mill part. The divided infinitesimal cutting edges are regulated to be even lengths. Some experiments show the validity of the developed model in the various cutting coalitions.

In this work a dynamic cutting force model in ball end milling of inclined surface is introduced. To represent the complex cutting geometry in ball end milling of inclined surface, workpiece is modeled with Z-map method and cutting edges are divided into finite cutting edge elements. As tool rotates and vibrates, a finite cutting edge element makes two triangular sub-patches. Using the number of nodes in workpiece which are in the interior of sub-patches, instant average uncut chip thickness is derived. Instant dynamic cutting forces are computed with the chip thickness and cutting coefficients. The deformation of cutting tool induced by cutting farces is also computed. With iterative computation of these procedures, a dynamic cutting force model is generated. The model is verified with several experiments.

As the technique of high-speed end-milling is widely adopted to in machining field. The investigation for microscopic precision of workpiece is necessary for machinability evolution. In this study, cutting force, cutting temperature and microhardness were investigated to evaluate damaged layer in conventional machining and high-speed machining. Damaged layer was measured using optical microscope. The thickness of damaged layer depends on cutting process parameters, specially feed per tooth and radial depth. It is obtained that the characteristics of damaged layer is high-speed machining better than conventional machining.

The purpose of this study is an evaluation of end mills to develop appropriate tools for the high speed machining. First of all, several flat end mills which are produced by different makers are selected to analyze the performances of the tools. Experimental works are also executed to measure cutting force, tool wear and surface roughness for different cutting conditions. And then the results are compared and analyzed for developing optimal cutting tool in the high speed condition. Especially, analysis about tool wear is introduced in this research.

Development of five axis tool grinding machine and CAD/CAM systems increase tool design flexibility. In this research, investigated are cutting characteristics of ball-end mill with different helix angle. Special WC ball-end mills with $0^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$ helix angles are designed and used in various cutting tests. Machining performance according to helix angle variation is evaluated from cutting forces, surface roughness, tool wear, produced chip shape, and vibration characteristics. The ball-end mill with $10^{\circ}$ helix angle shows the best cutting performance due to appropriate chip load distribution and smooth chip flow. This research can be used for cutting edge geometry optimization and novel design of ball-end mill.

This study represents the non-dimensional cutting force model. With the non-dimensional cutting force model it is possible to estimate efficiently the maximum cutting force during one revolution of cutter. Using the non-dimensional cutting force model, the feed rate and spindle speed are adjusted so as to satisfy the maximum cutting force and maximum machining error. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of the non-dimensional cutting force model, a series of experiments were conducted, and experimental results proved and verified the non-dimensional cutting force model. The NC toolpath verification system developed in this paper uses the non-dimensional cutting force model, so that it is effective for calculating the cutting force and adjusting the cutting conditions.

Recently researches for high speed machining have been actively performed. Few analytical studies, however, have been published. In this paper, a model of cutting forces is analytically studied to predict cutting characteristics in end mill process, especially considering both feed rate and spindle speed. The developed cutting model is based on Oxley's machining theory, which predicts the cutting forces from input data of workpiece material properties, tool geometry and cutting conditions. Experimental verification has been performed to verify the predictive cutting force model using tool dynamometer. It has been found that the simulation results substantially agree with experimental results.
