Mathematical Models of the Geometry of Micro Milling Cutters

Micromachining is an up-to-date technology widely used in different advanced areas like electronics, aerospace and medical industries. For manufacturing components with highest precision and lowest surface roughness, small-sized end mills with working diameter of less than 1 mm are often used. In this paper, in order to determine the functional relationships between structural strength, cutting properties and geometry of small-sized cutting tools, the mathematical models of working part of micro milling cutters were derived.
