Abstract: In this paper, feasibility of
tool monitoring with cutting force in turning is studied. A new
concept of resultant cutting force vector coefficient η is
defined. Based on systematic investigation on the effects of
tool wear and breakage, and other variables on η, a new
monitoring system for tool wear and breakage is developed.
Key words:
