The average cutting forces for different feed rates in Ti6Al4V milling have been measured using table dynamometer (Table 1). During the cutting test a carbide cylindrical end mill with 4 flutes, 0 degree helix angle and 19.05 mm diameter has been used. All the cutting tests have been performed as full immersion (?st=0 degree, ?ex=180 degree) with 5.0 mm depth of cut. a) Find the average mechanistic milling cutting coefficients ( Ktc Krc Kac Kte Kre Kae , , , , , ) using experimental average cutting forces for Ti6Al4V workpiece material (Figure 2).
