4.5 Cutting Conditions
After deciding on the machine tool and
cutting tool, the following main cutting
conditions have to be considered:
• Cutting speed
• Depth of cut
• ... metal cutting. Except at the
beginning and end of the cut, the forces on the cutting tool and the tool tip temperature
are essentially constant. For the special case of facing, the vary...

with increased cutting depth. If the
