Generally, cutting force models use a sin function method to calculate chip thickness. In slot end milling, the error from a sin function method is much bigger than other machining because a tool rotation angle in cutting is much larger. Thus in this paper, a new method to calculate chip thickness was suggested and evaluated. In a new method, tool position data according to tool rotation are checked and stored so that it is possible correct chip thickness is calculated. Cutting force waveforms simulated from a sin function method and a new method and measured waveforms from experiments were compared and error percentages were obtained. Finally, a new method had good results for simulating cutting force in slot end milling.

Runout causes severe differences among cutting force waveforms due to changes of rotational radii. Thus a runout model must be included in a cutting force model to simulate cutting force accurately. In this paper, a runout modeling method and a measurement method using a dialgauge were developed, which were easy to apply. To calculate runout parameters, a computer program algorithm which obtained runout parameters from measurement values was developed. Cutting force waveforms simulated from cutting force model considering runout effect and measured from experiments had good agreements for their wave size and order.
