EFFECT OF CHIP BREAKERS ON THE CUTTING FORCE DURING THE MACHINING OF STEEL C45

Abstract

The paper deals with the dependence of cutting force on the breaker of an indexable cutting insert ( I C I ) . The experiment monitored individual cutting force components for different insert breakers, cutting speeds and feed rates during machining. The cutting depth remained constant. The tool holder, material and coating of the indexable cutting insert was also identical.
