Abstract
In recent years, in consideration of issues such as environmental protection, reducing manufacturing costs, ensuring the safety and health of workers, it has been much researched on semi-dry machining and dry machining. Then, by applying oil impregnated cutting tools, it is possible to improve the cutting performance, despite the dry cutting. In this study, we conducted experiments using oil impregnated cutting tools, and verified its performance. We got the following results. (1) Oil-impregnated tools are effective to inhibit wear. (2) Chip evacuation is improved. (3)The field environment was comfortable.
