An analytical model for the optimized design of micro-textured cutting tools

Proper design of micro-textured cutting tools is an effective strategy to improve the machining performance by reducing the tool-chip contact length and the resultant friction and thus improving tool life and workpiece surface integrity. In this paper, an Oxely-based analytical model is developed to optimize micro-textured cutting tool design(s) which eliminate the occurrence of derivative cutting. The model accommodates any workpiece material, …
