Research at the Precision Engineering Center
The PEC has a long history studying cutting mechanics in single-point diamond turning (SPDT). The latest installment in this ongoing investigation is looking at the effect of rake angle on the forces in SPDT. In certain scenarios, the change in rake angle can be significant and have a profound effect on the finished part. One of these scenarios is examined here as is the measurement of cutting forces and the results of these measurements.
