In order to design and improve a new machine tool, there is a need for a better understanding of the cutting force. In this paper, the computer programs were developed to predict not only the mean specific cutting pressure but also the cutting force. The simulated cutting forces in X, Y, Z directions resulted form the developed cutting force model were compared with the measured cutting forces in the time and frequency domains. The simulated cutting forces resulted from the new cutting force model have a good agreement with the measured force in comparison with these resulted from the existing cutting force model.
