Even if depth of cut is the same, smaller nose radius

makes chip thick and chip control improves.

* Cutting resistance increases in proportion with

the width of the contact surface. Therefore, with 0,4

a larger nose radius, cutting resistance and

back force increases, chattering may also occur.

However, with the same feedrate, a smaller nose 0,2 0,25 0,3 0,35

radius would produce a poorer surface finish. Depth of cut (mm)
