Summary

The paper discribes a new rapid wear test for use in the assessment of cutting tool performance. Tool wear readings at each of the several cutting speeds are taken from different periods of tool life using the same cutting edge until the wear criterion is reached. The differences between the previously presented rapid vear tests and the new one are that (1) the calculation of the tool life in the new test takes the whole wearing process into account and (2) whether the Taylor’s equation is valid or not the new method is applicable.
