ANALYSIS OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE VARIATION OF THE FUNCTIONAL GEOMETRY OF THE CUTTING TOOL ON THE CUTTING FORCE DURING TURNING WITH TRANSVERSE FEED by Mădălin TOMESCU, Cosmin IONESCU

“…The force required to detach the chip must be known both for the design of the machine tool, the devices and the cutting tools, and for establishing some limit values of its size, depending on the strength or, in most cases, the rigidity of the processed semi-finished product. The paper presents the variation of the values of the cutting force for the transverse turning operation due to the variation of the functional geometry of the cutting tool during the cutting process in order to optimize the geometry of the active part of the cutting tool. …”
