Abstract

The mechanism of the material removal in an oblique cutting process such as drilling, the variation of the forces with time and their influence on accompanying damage, the optimal drill point geometry for minimizing the drilling forces and the subsequent damage are some of the directions in which the work in the machining of composite material is progressing. Four facet, eight-facet, Jo-point, inverted cone and special geometry are some of the widely used tool designs in drilling composite materials.
