3.1 Machining load model for helical endmill
As shown in Figure 3, the machining loads acting on a helical lute endmill are equally discretized into a inite number of elements along
the tool axis. The total cuting loads F
x
, F
y
and F
z
acting on the tool at a particular instant are obtain by summing the force components acting
on each individual discretized element [16, 17, 18].
