Until a recent date, the surface finish generated in turning by the conventional cutting tool is directly related to the feed rate and the size of the tool nose radius. With this tool a large feed rate will give poorer surface finish and a large nose radius will generate a better surface finish. Recently a new concept in the tool design is introduced to achieve a better surface finish at a higher feed rate. This is the wiper tool, which has the portion of nose with infinite radius. This can remove the ridges left when the conventional tool is used. In this study two series of cutting tests with the wiper tool and the conventional tool are carried out under the various cutting conditions of cutting depth, feed rate and cutting speed. The effects of the wiper design and the cutting conditions on the surface roughness resulted are carefully examined and compared.

Chip flow angle is one of the important factors to be determined for the scheme of Chip Control. Up to now, however, a dependable way to predict the chip flow angle in practical cutting has not been established satisfactorily. In this paper a rather simple theoretical prediction of chip flow angle is tried based on some already widely confirmed hypotheses. The developed equation of chip flow angle contains the parameters of depth of cut d, feed rate f, nose radius $r_{n}$ side cutting edge angle $C_{s}$, side rake angle .alpha.$_{s}$ and back rake angle .alpha.$_{b}$. Theoretical results of chip flow angle given by this study bas been shown in a good agreement with experimental ones.s.s.s.s.
