Cutting tool rotation errors have significant influence on the machined surface quality, especially in micromilling. Precision metrology instruments are usually needed to measure the rotation error accurately. However, it is difficult to directly measure the axial error of micromilling tools due to the small diameters and ultra-high rotational speed. To predict the axial error of high speed milling tools in the actual machining conditions and avoid the use of expensive metrology instruments, a novel method is proposed in this paper to quantify the cutting tool error in the axial direction based on the tool marks generated on the machined surface. A numerical model is established to simulate the surface topography generation, and the relationship between tool marks and the cutting tool axial error is then investigated. The tool axial errors at different rotational speeds can be detected by the proposed method. The accuracy and the reliability of the proposed method are verified by machining experiments.

High-speed milling has often been applied in injection mold manufacturing processes, where surface roughness is a significant criterion in product quality demands. It is equally applicable to automotive or industrial engineering and to toy manufacturing, where plastic parts with a high-quality surface finish have been processed using the injection molding technique. High-speed milling involves a number of process parameters that may affect the 3D surface topography formation. Literature analysis reveals that dynamical behavior is a significant factor in the end milling process on surface roughness parameters. To improve the accuracy of predicted surface topography models, it is important to include the dynamical behavior of milling factor. This paper describes the surface prediction model of combined end-milling geometrical and dynamical interaction models. The natural frequency of machine assembly and forced vibrations during the cutting process were measured during the flat-end milling process. Unevenly distributed cutting marks were revealed by surface 3D topography images and microscopy images of the machined samples. A mathematical model to predict surface topography was developed, including dynamical behavior and cutting geometries. Machine accuracy also has to be addressed. 3D surface topography parameters from the experimental sample provided the results for the mathematical prediction model. This model offers a software tool for manufacturers to improve the quality of machined part surfaces, taking into account the behavioral properties of their machining equipment. Relevant conclusions about the manufacturing equipment accuracy have been drawn. Vibrations in the milling system affect the cutting process and contribute to the surface topography prediction model. Local cutting tool vibrations do not have any influence on surface parameter mean values.

During high speed milling hardened steel, the problem that tool vibration reducing machining surface quality causes led to a research for the influence characteristics of milled surface topography through high speed milling experiment. To determine the formation condition of milled surface topography, using displacement increment of origin of tool coordinate system which is caused by the milling cutter vibration and installation error, modifies the cutting motion trajectory. Based on the tool-workpiece contact relationship and the cutting layer parameters of contact points on two teeth, the residual units of machined surface are established, thereby proposing a solution method for the deformation and distribution characteristic of residual units under the overhanging volume and the vibration. Therefore, the milled surface topography of cutting hardness steel with high speed ball-end milling cutter is revealed to bring out a striking contrast between the simulation and experiment of milled surface topography of hardness steel.

High-speed milling tests were performed on vol. (5%-8%) TiCp/TC4 composite in the speed range of 50-250 m/min using PCD tools to nvestigate the cutting temperature and the cutting forces. The results showed that radial depth of cut and cutting speed were the two significant influences that affected the cutting forces based on the Taguchi prediction. Increasing radial depth of cut and feed rate will increase the cutting force while increasing cutting speed will decrease the cutting force. Cutting force increased less than 5% when the reinforcement volume fraction in the composites increased from 0% to 8%. Radial depth of cut was the only significant influence factor on the cutting temperature. Cutting temperature increased with the increasing radial depth of cut, feed rate or cutting speed. The cutting temperature for the titanium composites was 40-90 °C higher than that for the TC4 matrix. However, the cutting temperature decreased by 4% when the reinforcement's volume fraction increased from 5% to 8%.
