Over the past ten years we have wethnessed a revolution in metalcutting in the field of High Speed Machining. As machining speeds continue to increase, particularly spindle RPM, forces created by unbalance in the spindle, cutting tool, and toolholder require close attaention. It has been observed that these forces, if left uncompensated, can results in poor surface finish, loss of tool life, and spindle bearing failure. The sources of this unbalance needs to be identified and elimated in order to create a smooth, vibration free condition and allow the machine tool and its spindle to operate properly.

This paper presents a development of computer aided cutting tool selection techniques for rough and finish turning operations. The developed system,. which is one of important activities for computer aided operation planning, firstly implements operation sequencing. Then, from relations of the size of machined area, recommended finishing allowance and maximum depth of cut, a main machining method is selected, a number of cut is calculated, cutting tools including toolholders and inserts are selected, and values for cutting parameters are determined. A cutting tool selection procedure is proposed for toolholders and inserts of ISO code in rough cutting, and some important parameters such as holder style, tool approach angle, tool function and its direction are described in detail. In order to demonstrate the validity of the system a case study is performed.
