Influence of Cutter Position on Cutting Forces and Tool Life in Face Milling

In manufacturing industry there is a lack of information about the effect of relative transverse position between cutter and workpiece - centric or out of center face mailling - on tool life. In this work, the results of the investigation about the influence of the transverse position of face milling cutter on cutting forces, tool life and surface roughness are presented. Also, the experimental results obtained in this research were compared to data published in the literature.
