Abstract
A force model is presented to theoretically predict single-tooth sawing force based on mechanics. The model is used to study the effect of the saw tooth profile parameters, such as rake and setting angles, on the sawing process so as to optimize the sawing process. Then, the force model is experimentally verified by a series of sawing force measurements. This study shows that the resultant force decreases with an increase in the rake/setting angle. Theoretically, there exists maximum rake/setting angle which, however, can never been reached in practice due to the process restrictions. Therefore, the optimal rake/setting angle is the maximum that can be obtained in the process. The study provides a theoretical foundation for design and optimization of the saw tooth profiles.
