The presented work models the geometry of Single Point Cutting Tools (SPCTs) with generic profile. Presently few standard shapes of SPCTs defined in terms of projective geometry are being employed while there is a need to design free-form tools to efficiently machine free-form surfaces with few passes and chosen range of cutting angles. To be able to produce SPCT face and flanks with generic shapes through grinding, a comprehensive geometric model of the tool in terms of the varying grinding angles and the ground depths is required which helps design the tool with arbitrarily chosen tool angles. The surface modeling begins with the creation of a tool blank model followed by transformation of unbounded planes to get the cutting tool surfaces. The intersection of these surfaces with the blank gives the complete model of the tool. Having created the geometric model in two generations of generalization, the paper presents the methodology to obtain the conventional tool angles from the generic model. An illustration of the model has been provided showing variation of tool angles along the cutting edge with changing grinding parameters. When the geometric model is not to be related to the grinding parameters, the SPCT can be modeled as a composite NURBS surface which has been presented towards the end of the work.

One of the objectives of process planning optimization is to diminish machining time. Nowadays a lot of research papers presented different algorithms to solve this classic problem. Thus, the optimal sequence of parts in the machining operations by considering fixture faces, part faces, number of operations and number of tools is presented in this paper. The mathematical model based on the integer linear programming is developed to minimize the total production time of the prismatic parts manufactured on a CNC machining center equipped with the tombstone-type fixture. The time required for machining, tool traveling and tool changing is taken into consideration under relevant constraints such as precedence, fixture and available cutting tools. The optimal process plan can be obtained from the mathematical model and it is considered practical and acceptable.

The multi-facet drill shows good performance during materials are difficultly machined. However, for a new type of the drilling point, the grinding has been the main problem that restricts its application. To properly grinding the drill point confirms the design parameters, the relationship between design parameters and grinding parameters must be resolved. The mathematical model is the key to solve this problem. In this paper, according to the design of the high manganese steel drilling tool, a mathematical model has been established by the plane grinding method to solve grinding parameters, and to achieve improved mechanical grinding of drill point.

This paper uses micro-grinding tool with 500# grains and 0.9 mm diameter to grind nickel-based superalloy Inconel600 through three factors(grinding depth, feed rate, spindle speed ) at three levels orthogonal grinding experiment in mesoscopic scale. Then according to the range analysis of surface roughness, the primary and secondary influencial factors are found; the micro grinding parameters are optimized ,the results show: the influence of the feed rate(vf)is the biggest, followed by the spindle speed(n), the grinding depth(ap) is minimal, when n=50kr/min, vf=100μm/s, ap=6μm, the grinding surface roughness is minimum: Ra=579nm; finally , the regression mathematical model of micro grinding surface roughness is established, the relative error of the calculated value and experimental measurements is low, showing that this regression mathematical model is accurate and effective. This study provides a theoretical basis for the micro grinding parameters and surface quality control of nickel-based superally.

A variety of cutting tool materials are used for the contact mode mechanical machining of components under extreme conditions of stress, temperature and/or corrosion, including operations such as drilling, milling turning and so on. These demanding conditions impose a seriously high strain rate (an order of magnitude higher than forming), and this limits the useful life of cutting tools, especially single-point cutting tools. Tungsten carbide is the most popularly used cutting tool material, and unfortunately its main ingredients of W and Co are at high risk in terms of material supply and are listed among critical raw materials (CRMs) for EU, for which sustainable use should be addressed. This paper highlights the evolution and the trend of use of CRMs) in cutting tools for mechanical machining through a timely review. The focus of this review and its motivation was driven by the four following themes: (i) the discussion of newly emerging hybrid machining processes offering performance enhancements and longevity in terms of tool life (laser and cryogenic incorporation); (ii) the development and synthesis of new CRM substitutes to minimise the use of tungsten; (iii) the improvement of the recycling of worn tools; and (iv) the accelerated use of modelling and simulation to design long-lasting tools in the Industry-4.0 framework, circular economy and cyber secure manufacturing. It may be noted that the scope of this paper is not to represent a completely exhaustive document concerning cutting tools for mechanical processing, but to raise awareness and pave the way for innovative thinking on the use of critical materials in mechanical processing tools with the aim of developing smart, timely control strategies and mitigation measures to suppress the use of CRMs.

Due to the rapid development in recent cutting technology, demands for different types of precise cutting tools become increasingly complicated. Since the design and grinding of end-mills are the last and the most important processing for cutting tools. The geometrical accuracy and the cutting performance of an end-mill depend essentially on the grinding. However, the complicated geometry of an end-mill will be ground by the specific software of CAD/CAM on the 5-axis CNC tool grinding machine. The precision of end-mill grinder will be determined by the performance of 5-axis CNC tool grinder and setting of grinding parameters. Three regulation factors for grinding are grit size of the diamond grinding wheel, grinding speed and the feeding speed. The variable ranges of each parameter can be divided in large, medium and small interval. In this study for an end-mill with fixed geometrical profile, a series of different grinding parameters have been utilized by the 33 factorial experiment planning. And tool grinding experiments for the rod material specification of tungsten carbide have been performed by 5-axis CNC tool grinder. After grinding, surface roughness of tools will be measured. The reliability and precision of the end-mill grinding can be enhanced by the prediction model of polynomial network for surface roughness of end-mills. Besides, the database system for cutting tool has benn established. Totally 4802 data were constructed in the relational database according to the characteristics of tools.
