1. Introduction
Process capability modeling has in the past covered a wide variety of activities. Analytic methods of predicting the behavior of the cutting process and the tool have long been used to predict cutting operation requirements as defined by power, tool life and surface roughness constraints. These are, and will continue to be, important areas of research. Faced with estimates of the power requirements, cutting speeds, and tool life, the engineer can turn to data about processes, machines, and cutting tools to help him select suitable cutting conditions. Large companies often provide data in the form of handbooks or in databases that describe the general ...
