Abstract
Machinability refers to the relative ease with which a material can be cut successfully. The criteria to measure a successful cut are plentiful. Some commonly accepted measures include the surface roughness, the ease of removal of the chip, the amount of tool wear, the cutting force and the power consumption. These factors are often related to one another. This chapter showcases the material characterisation methods and the in-depth study on the machinability of single crystal materials in a series of delicate diamond turning experiments undertaken by the authors and their colleagues.
