Machinability in metal cutting processes depends on cutting input conditions such as cutting velocity, feed rate, depth of cut, types of work material and tool shape factors. In this study, to assess chip breaking characteristics of a turning process, an equivalent oblique cutting system to this has been established. And the equivalent effective rake angle was determined using side rake angle, back rake angle and side cutting edge angle of the tool. A non-dimensional parameter, Chip breaking index(CB), was used to assess Chip breaking characteristics of chip in conjunction with the equivalent effective rake angle. In case of positive rake angles of the equivalent effective rake, the back rake angle has little effect on the chip breaking characteristics however, in case of negative ones, the side rake angle has some effect on Chip breaking characteristics.

Chip flow angle is one of the important factors to be determined for the scheme of Chip Control. Up to now, however, a dependable way to predict the chip flow angle in practical cutting has not been established satisfactorily. In this paper a rather simple theoretical prediction of chip flow angle is tried based on some already widely confirmed hypotheses. The developed equation of chip flow angle contains the parameters of depth of cut d, feed rate f, nose radius $r_{n}$ side cutting edge angle $C_{s}$, side rake angle .alpha.$_{s}$ and back rake angle .alpha.$_{b}$. Theoretical results of chip flow angle given by this study bas been shown in a good agreement with experimental ones.s.s.s.s.
