The mechanics of continuous chip formation in oblique cutting in the absence of chip distortion. Part 2—Comparison of experimental data with deductions from theory

Experiments in which annealed specimens of aluminium alloy, commercially pure copper and mild steel were cut at low speed with angles of tool obliquity ranging from 0 to 50° are described. The data obtained from these cutting tests are used to test the validity of the hypothesis and assumptions proposed in the first part of this work and on the basis of which a theory of oblique cutting in the absence of chip distortion was advanced. The data are found to substantiate the theory quite well.
