Rotary cutting process is modeled and its cutting performances are discussed in the present study. Actively or passively driven rotary cutting can be equivalent to oblique cutting. Assuming bearing resistance is negligible, passively driven rotary cutting can be further simplified as orthogonal cutting. Rotary milling tool is developed and applied to face milling tests of Inconel 718. Comparing with the conventional milling, experimental results indicated the feasibility of higher performance machining of Inconel 718 by the rotary tool.
