A Determination Method of Cutting Coefficients in Ball End Milling Forces Model

Cutting force is very important in predicting machining error, surface properties, and chatter vibration. Cutting process simulators based on cutting force models for ball end mill operations have been developed so far by a lot of researcher. This paper describes a new approach for determining cutting coefficients, which are indispensable in predicting cutting force, for cutting force models of ball end mills. The feasibility of the proposed method on cutting coefficient determination is demonstrated in this paper.
