Popis: Precision edge preparation techniques for cemented carbides enable optimization of the geometry of tools’ cutting edges. These techniques are frequently used in high-stress environments, resulting in substantial improvements in tools’ cutting performance. This investigation examined the impact and evolution of cutting edge parameters and resulting surface finishes as a function of dry-electropolishing time on an end-mill. Findings demonstrate enlargement of the cutting edge radius, a decrease in surface roughness, and the mitigation of defects induced during previous manufacturing stages (i.e., smashed ceramic particles, burrs, chipping, etc.). Additionally, a direct correlation between dry-electropolishing time and primary cutting edges’ micro-geometry parameters has been established.
