The effect of EUV modification of WC-Co indexable knives on the tool life during particleboard milling. The paper presents the results of lifetime tests of WC-Co composite blades after modification of their flank surfaces using intense pulses of extreme ultraviolet (EUV). Wear tests consisting in milling a three-layer particleboard with constant cutting parameters were carried out on a CNC machining center. A statistically insignificant increase in the lifetime of modified tools was demonstrated, as well as an inversely proportional relationship with the duration of the EUV pulses. The EUV modification increased the coefficient of variation in the lifetime of WC-Co indexable knives.
