The objective of this research was to use analytical and experimental
approaches to investigate the effects of cutting tool geometry with a
negative side cutting edge angle (SCEA) on machining parameters. The f
irst task of this research was to conduct experimental tests for diffe
rent SCEAs, cutting speeds, feed rates and depths of cut. The second t
ask was to develop a mathematical model to predict cutting forces for
the three-dimensional oblique cutting operation. These tasks were acco
mplished as follows. One set of the experimental results was used as f
eedback to develop new empirical formulae required to predict cutting
forces. A second set of experimental tests was conducted in this study
to ensure the validity of the empirical relationships associated with
the mathematical model. A comparison of cutting forces and other mach
ining parameters was made between the output of the mathematical model
and the experimentally-measured values. New cutting tools are propose
d by using the results of the expanded mathematical model. The benefit
s of this research are as follows: a model for an oblique cutting oper
ation as a function of SCEAs, cutting speeds, feed rates and depths of
cut was developed; the effect of negative SCEAs on machining paramete
rs in an oblique cutting process was investigated; and a new direction
for designing cutting tool geometry with negative SCEAs, which improv
es the quality of surface finish and productivity of cutting tool life
in turning operations was developed.
