Abstract
This study represents some characteristics of the path interval formula proposed previously in multi-axis filleted end milling. The path interval is known as a machining condition to consider a suitable balance between manufacturing efficiency and machined surface quality. However, the practical formula has not necessarily been provided for multi-axis filleted end milling. With reference to the formula proposed in our previous report, the some characteristics were numerically investigated only when the tool inclination was set along feed direction. In addition, the revealed characteristics were further elaboratively compared with those of several end mills. As a result, the novel formula was more effective for path interval determination in filleted end milling.
