FACE MILLING FORCES DEPENDING ON THE
FORCES DEVELOPED ON A SINGLE-TOOTH
BY
ANA-MARIA MATEI and MARIUS NICOLAE MILEA
Abstract. This paper presents some theoretical models for the evaluation of
cutting forces components in face milling, developed on a single−tooth level. The
cutting forces at face milling depend on the every variant of face milling process
(teeth number which simultaneously cut) and the relative position of cutting teeth
and the material being cut (cut - down milling and cut - up milling). Regarding to
this, the determination of cutting force components at face milling FZ, FX, FY is
based on the forces for a single tooth, the cutting tooth position beside the XYZ
coordinates system of the tool and the number of teeth that simultaneously cut.
Key words: cutting, face milling, forces.
1. Introduction
The cutting forces developed during the milling process are affected by a
series of parameters, including cutting feed, the milling depth and width, tooth
number, tooth geometry, the relative position of cutting teeth and the material
being cut, and the hardness of the material being cut. Therefore, the most
calculus models of face milling forces are including these parameters, and also
some specific elements of the tools’ circular motion [1].
This paper presents new theoretical models for the evaluation of cutting
force components at face milling, considering besides the parameters described
above, also the specific elements for each variant of face milling process:
complete (full), symmetrical incomplete or unsymmetrical incomplete, and the
relative position of cutting teeth and the material being cut: cut-down milling
and cut-up milling.
The face milling forces are also depending on the number of teeth that
simultaneously cut (odd or even number of teeth) [2].
