How is the cutting force calculated in a metal cutting unit?

How is the cutting force calculated in a metal cutting unit?

Answer:

The power consumed in the cutting process is called the cutting power Pm (GB Po). The cutting power consumption for Fz and Fx power and Fy direction without displacement, so no power consumption.
In metal cutting, the tool cuts into the workpiece and deforms the machined material and becomes the force required for the chip. This is called the cutting force.
Study on cutting force, to further clarify the cutting mechanism, the calculation of power consumption, the design of cutting tool, machine tool, fixture, selecting reasonable cutting parameters and optimizing tool geometry, has a very important significance.
