Abstract
This paper deals with the influence of cutting speed and feed rate on tool wear in the end milling of CFRP. As a result, in dry cutting, the tool life increases with decreasing the cutting speed, and the cutting speed of 69 m/min is suitable. The tool life obtained with the feed rate of 100 mm/min is longer than that obtained with 200 mm/min. It was found that the supply of water as a cutting fluid prolongs the tool life at a high cutting speed of 126 m/min, although the water is ineffective at the cutting speeds of 69 and 93 m/min.
