Influence of the Trochoidal Tool Path on Quality Surface of Groove Walls

Abstract

The article presents results of machining materials in hardened state. In the paper different trochoidal tool paths are compared with each other and with the conventional milling. The results of measurements show relationship between tool path, roughness and waviness of grooves wall. The paper also presents photographics of grooves which were made. These results provide comparative material useful in the choose of the best milling strategy to cutting process.
