Experimental Study on Cutting Force of Pocket Corner in HSM

Pocket corner in the high-speed milling (HSM) often occur under-cut, over-cut, vibration and other phenomena. This not only reduces tool life, seriously affected the work-piece machining accuracy and processing efficiency. In the paper, the impact of cutting speed on cutting forces is studied in the pocket corner based on the high-speed milling experiments. The results show that cutting force increased slightly with the increase in cutting speed, and that cutting force no significant change with the increase in radial depth of cut.
