1. Cutting phenomenon
The theory of cutting is explained in the articles on mechanics, physics (
B 7 040) and modeling (
Figure 1 defines the various technical terms and symbols used in this article.
We will briefly describe the various phenomena involved in chip formation, which determine the tool's working conditions and service life.

General cutting conditions for milling
High-speed steel milling is mainly carried out with two grades (tables 1 , 2 ,
General cutting conditions for turning
In order to obtain stable and repeatable machining conditions, it is advisable to select the parameters depth of cut (ap) and feed per revolution (f ) within a range commonly referred to as the chip control zone. This zone is regularly truncated by a maximum cutting section (A D max) which must not be exceeded (figure
