A Cutting Force Model for Face Milling Operation

Based on the geometry of the cutter, the dynamic force model of face milling was established. Meanwhile, the fast and effective identification method of milling force model coefficients was provided, which combining the virtues of both orthogonal design theory and partial least-square regression (PLSR) method. Milling experiments have been conducted to verify the proposed face milling force model. Good agreements between the experimental and simulated results were presented.
