Definition of the Cutting Tests

In the literature though, there are papers presenting an accurate description of the cutting tests, most of the authors do not provide, or at least not with the desired detail the following information:

• how they obtained the wear of the tools used in the tests
• the time of tool use for wear generation
• the used workpiece material for tool wear generation
• under what cutting conditions the wear was achieved

This is a critical issue since this data is needed to complete the information about the experiment and to have a better knowledge about the process, allowing for more reliable conclusions
