Simulation-Based and Experimental Investigation of Micro End Mills with Wiper Geometry

One of the major advantages of micromachining is the high achievable surface quality at highly flexible capabilities in terms of the machining of workpieces with complex geometric properties. Unfortunately, finishing operations often result in extensive process times due to the dependency of the resulting surface topography on the cutting parameter, e.g., the feed per tooth, fz. To overcome this dependency, special tool shapes, called wipers,...
