The work purpose was the investigation of dependence impact of tool geometrical parameters upon shaping effort during internal groove cutting.
As a realization for the fulfillment of the helical groove processing investigation there was used a software complex based on a finite element method and a computer mathematic system. As a result of the investigations carried out there was obtained a regression equation manifesting the dependence of factors impact upon axial force falling on one tooth of the tool in the set scale of factor parameters. The scientific novelty consists in that in the paper there is considered a new method for helical groove cutting in which a shaping motion is carried out at the expense of the contact interaction of a tool and a billet performing free cutting.
The investigation results obtained allowed determining the number of teeth operating simultaneously, that can be used further at cutting mode setting, and also as recommendations during designing tool design.
