Tool deflection on peripheral milling

Abstract

In this work a mechanistic model for peripheral milling is presented, taking into account the flexibility of slender end mills. The contribution of this paper is the obtention of the real tool center displacements and the real cutting forces, since the model takes into account the instantaneous force balance between the cutting forces and the elastic force of the slender tool. A deep explanation of the model, some application examples and discussion of the results are in the paper.
