Abstract: Chatter phenomenon often occurs during end milling of metal-cutting and becomes a common limitation to achieve high productivity and part quality. This paper studies the relationship expression between the parameters of oblique cutting and milling coefficients by analyzing the geometrical relationship of oblique cutting, and derives the mathematic expressions in theory between the cutter parameters and chatter. For the purpose of chatter avoidance, this paper studies the effect of helix angle and normal rake angle on milling stability under the condition of the same milling parameters, and plots the three-dimensional stability lobes of the spindle speed, axial and radial depths. It can be found that the milling stability is increased with the increment of helix angle and normal rake angle. Through the three-dimensional lobe, it is possible to choose the appropriate cutter parameters to reduce and avoid the chatter.

Abstract: In this paper, a new mathematical model and grinding method of ball-end milling cutter are proposed, based on the orthogonal spiral cutting edge curve. The movements of grinding wheel and ball-end milling cutter are presented while grinding rake face. In order to grind conveniently and avoid interference, a conical wheel is also designed and employed to grind the rake face of ball-end milling cutter on a grinder. In order to improve the machining characteristics of ball-end milling cutter, the model of rake face with equal rake angle is established. The software of ball-end milling cutter is developed to design and optimize different shapes of rake face. Furthermore, the simulation analysis on rake face with equal rake angle is carried out to confirm the validation of the mathematical models.
