Evaluation of manufacturing process in milling by direct measurement of cutting force is considered to be effective comparing to indirect measurement of electricity. This paper proposed a new evaluation method of end-mills by the direct measurement of cutting force. Cutting forces were precisely obtained by a 3-component dynamometer during end milling. Each flute cutting forces was evaluated for two types of end-mills (non wear-out, wear-out) by wave patterns of cutting force. A distinctive difference in the two types of end-mills has been clearly seen. The effectiveness of the proposed evaluation method has been clarified.
