Contributions of different sections of the tool to total tool displacement are quantified. Then the influence of cutting parameters (width of cut, depth of cut, and feed per tooth) on tool deflection are investigated experimentally using …

The higher friction coefficient of uncoated tools may lead to increases in the burr width. In addition, NCD coating material may transform into graphite at higher cutting temperatures. The friction coefficient at tool-chip interface decreases because of the lubricating effect of the graphite. This may contribute to the decreases in burr width.
