The modelling of Machining Operations has become very widespread today, with many researchers developing models with which to predict metal-cutting performance. The aim here is to provide an answer to the challenges presented by the machining industry, which is presently facing very tight economical and environmental constraints. The collection of over 100 peer-reviewed papers covers twelve research topics, including: “Analytical and Numerical Modelling”; “Cutting Fundamentals: Input Parameters”; “Cutting Fundamentals: Experimental Validation”; “Surface Integrity”; “Surface Topography”; “Tool Wear and Tool Life”; “Dynamics and Stability”; “High-Speed Machining and 5-Axes Machining”; “Abrasive Machining”; “Ultra-Precision and Micromachining”; “Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)”; “Experimental: Non-Conventional Machining”. This work will thus constitute an invaluable handbook on the subject.
