Desktop machine tools are used for trial manufacture of small parts in many cases. In small production such as trial manufacture, the manual operation sometime is more efficient than the automatic operation by the NC program. For operators during manual operation, the information acquired through the sense organs is important. However, NC machine tools don't have active feedback function through a hand wheel, a feed screw, a table and a workpiece. Also, the small diameter tool used for desktop machine tools is easily damaged with reduction the tool diameter. In this report, the manual operation support device that can convey the cutting information with the force sense to the operator is developed for small size machine tools and the effectiveness is confirmed by the drilling experiments using rating scale method.
