Abstract/Summary High speed machining has become a versatile application in industry, allowing rapid manufacturing of components. In deriving the optimum cutting conditions, the study of technical performance factors is of great importance. This work presents an experimental study on the forces generated while milling AISI1020 steel at high cutting speeds from 250m/min to 450m/min. The experimental program was carried out for ninety different cutting conditions using three different tooling configurations. Results show an uneven force distribution for inserts on the same cutter due to the cutter run-out. The measured forces were transformed into the instantaneous tangential and radial force components. Cutting force (tangential force) varies with the speed, feed and depth of cut and shows an increase with feed and depth of cut while there is no specific trend shown with varying speed. Discussions are presented for the results obtained. This study will be used as a basis to develop a predictive model for high-speed end milling operations.
