THEORY AND PRACTICE OF ACHIEVING QUALITY SURFACE IN TURN MILLING

Turn milling is not a very widely used process. But the development in the last decade has shown a number of advantages over other conventio nal processes. Due to the rather complex kinematics of this process th e geometry of the tool and its position according to the workpiece is very important. Practical results enabled a comparison of the roughnes s between the centric and eccentric turn milling with different proces s parameters. At the same time the results demonstrated that vibration s have an enormously large influence on the quality of products. (C) 1 997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
