When micro tools (1–999 mm in 17 May 2008 diameter) are used in milling, the undeformed chip thickness is usually very small and comparable to Accepted 27 May 2008 the cutting edge radius. This condition determines the effective rake angle and hence plays a significant Available online 10 June 2008 role in the mechanics of micro machining. The differences between macro and microscale machining Keywords: influence process factors such as cutting interfac
