Abstract

ABSTRACT
In metal cutting, the prediction of cutting forces has been the focus of research for
very long time. The reason for that is to decrease the cost of performing experimental
work whenever the cutting of new material is needed. In recent years a new
application for metal cutting was introduced due to the miniaturization of components
and the invention of micro electro-mechanical system MEMS. This has led to the
introduction of micro machining. Thus the analysis of the cutting system needed
revisions. This is because of the domination of other factors during cutting process.
Among these factors are the minimum chip thickness and the ploughing forces. In
this work the modeling of orthogonal, oblique and milling cutting process in micro
scale is presented. The results are verified using published experimental results.
