Precision Machining of Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics with respect to Tool Characteristics

  • Published:
The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

When using glass fibre reinforced plastics (GFRP) it is often necessary to cut the material, but the cutting of GFRP is often made difficult by the delamination of the composite and the short tool life. In this paper, the machinability of GFRP by means of tools made of various materials and geometries was investigated experimentally. By proper selection of cutting tool material and geometry, excellent machining of the workpiece is achieved. The surface quality relates closely to the feedrate and cutting tool.
