In this paper, the effects of chip breaker configuration on cutting forces for various cutting conditions are investigated and a method for predicting cutting forces effectively for chip breaker insert in milling is described. Based on the shear plane model and the relevant equations already existing for the relation among the parameters, the method makes use of the analytic geometric approach considering the configuration of cutting too by a 3-dimensional coordinate transformation matrix. The groove type chip breaker insert is modeled to be a double rake insert, represented by the first radial rake angle, the second radial rake angle and the length of land, and the program analyzing the cutting forces is developed. The program capability is verified by comparing the results with the experimental ones for a single cutter; and in case of primary cutting forces, the results of simulation and experiments agree very well showing 2%~16.7% difference within the feed rate range investigated.

Using the geometric and the vector methods, three dimensional surface texture and roughness models in flat end milling are developed. In these models, rear cutting effect on surface generation is considered along with tool run-out and tool setting error including tool tilting and eccentricity between tool center and spindle rotational center. Rear cutting is the secondary cutting of the already machined surface by the trailing cutting edge. The effects of tool geometry and tool deflection on surface roughness are also considered. For representing the surface texture more practically, three dimentional surface topography parameters such as RMS deviaiton, skewness and kurtosis are introduced and used in expressing the surface texture characteristics. Under various cutting conditions, it is confirmed that the developed models predict the real surface profile precisely. These models could contribute to the cutter design and cutting condition selection for the reduction of machining and manual finishing time.
