Popis: The modelling and optimization of a mill cutter increases the efficiency of cutting operation. The purpose of this paper is to study the model design and optimization of carbide milling cutter for the machining operation of M200 on CNC milling machine using the carbide insert cutter (R390-11 T3 08M-PM 1130). The model design and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was carried out using the Autodesk Fusion 360 (2.0.5357) while a dynamometer was used to measure the cutting forces during machining of M200 Tool Steel and the results were read with the aid of Kistler Software. Other cutting parameters such as the cutting speed (V), feed rate (fm), feed per tooth (ft) and depth of cut (d) were also evaluated. A L9 orthogonal array for Taguchi Method was employed to conduct the numerical experimental having the surface roughness as the response in order to determine the most feasible combination of cutting parameters (cutting force, cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) that will result in significant reduction in the surface roughness. The results obtained indicated that the developed mill cutter could satisfactorily machine the work piece to a high degree of surface finish. The successful completion of this work provides a design framework as well as the design data for the development of cutting tools.
