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].
