ABSTRACT
The fundamental reason why there has been significant interest both in the metal cutting industry and research community in recent years in high speed machining technology is the claim that it can dramatically increase metal removal rates resulting in reduced machining times and increased productivity, Flom, Komanduri and Lee (1984). Despite the importance of the high speed machining process, very little has been published on the cutting process prediction at high cutting speed. This can be attributed to the fact that the high speed machining process is, perhaps, one of the most complex of the manufacturing methods
employed today. It involves various input and output parameters linked together through a multitude of complex interactions.
