Part 2 of this study illustrates the applications of the frequency domain force model put forth in Part 1 for three common helical cutters: the square, taper, and ball end mills. The respective geometric and boundary functions required for the evaluation of the force spectra are derived by applying differential geometry to these three types of cutters including cutters of constant helix angle and constant helix lead. By virtue of the explict expression of Fourier coefficients of milling force, the differences between cutting forces generated by two cutters with constant helix angle and constant helix lead can be described quantitatively. In slot (or half slot) milling for the taper end mills with a constant helix angle and constant helix lead, the strategy for selecting axial depths of cut to reduce force pulsation is presented respectively. Also derived are the specific expressions f.. View More»
