Abstract
This paper describes a theoretical and practical procedure of metal cutting condition optimization. Meaningful researches on metal cutting have been carried out for a long period of time ; Cutting process has been well analyzed, various cutting mechanisms have been revealed, and concrete cutting theories have been established. However, these cutting theories are not yet fully put into practice. In this research, a practical approach to optimizing the cutting condition in milling operation is developed, employing its theoretical knowledge as a basis. This optimization methodology can be steadily applied to our business as usual.
