This paper presents a study of the effects of tool wear on cutting force and surface roughness. The cutting force was measured using a piezoelectric force meter which was attached to the cutting machine's revolving head. The surface roughness was measured after the cutting process was complete...

A number of equations are available for predicting the output of machining processes. These equations are most commonly used for the prediction of surface roughness after tooling. Surface roughness can be influenced by many factors, including cutting parameters, tool geometry and environmental...
