High-speed Machining

The high speed machining is now recognized as one of the key manufacturing technologies for higher productivity and throughput. The paper reviews recent development in high speed machining and related technology especially in the last decade. The state of the art of high speed cutting, cutting tools and machine tools for high speed cutting are presented. The realization of hsc demands new unconventional solutions for machine tools and their components. The optimization and the safety precautions of the tools are very important. Time reduction of more than 50% can be achieved.
