This paper presents an experimental study of cutting forces during micro end-milling of brass. The influences of cutting speed and feed per tooth on cutting forces have been researched. The results show that the resultant force Fr and feed force Fx significantly increase with increasing the feed per tooth. The resultant force Fr, feed force Fx and normal force Fy increase with increasing cutting speed. The specific shear energy is also investigated. It is observed that the specific shear energy increases greatly with decreasing the feed per tooth when the feed per tooth is less than minimum chip thickness.This paper presents an experimental study of cutting forces during micro end-milling of brass.
