The exiting of the cutting edge from the cut is also accompanied by The average chip thickness h depends on the type of milling cutter thermal stress, caused by a rapid reduction in temperature of the sur- and the cutting conditions, especially on the relation ma /DC, feed per face layer of the cutting edge and mechanical stress caused by elastic tooth f and the setting angle KAPR – k .

in cutting force. That is why we use the average value of chip thickness h for any calculations. m The chip thickness h fluctuates during one revolution depending on
angle j in accordance with the formula hj = f × sinj. The maximum chip thickness equal to f is reached at the axis of the z milling cutter. The average chip thickness zh cut by one tooth during one revolution is equal to the height of the rectangle of the same area m as the area under the sine curve relates to the radial depth of cut a . e
