Abstract
The geometric characteristics of the side wall generated by the end-milling process are investigated through experiments and geometrical analyses. Both the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces are considered. Based on previous studies where the change of material removal per tooth was shown to affect the geometry of the end-milled side wall directly, it is expected that such material removal always varies just before the tool disengages the part in any case of cylindrical end-milling. The location and the size of a geometrically defected region in the cylindrical side wall are also presented. A model for predicting the depth in the radial direction is also developed. The proposed models thus make it possible to understand and anticipate the geometrical characteristics of end-milled cylindrical side walls in a quantitative manner.
