Method and apparatus for controlled-fracture machining

摘要: An apparatus (100) and method (200) of contact machining having applications in profiling operations utilizes at least one static cutting tool (101) turret (102) driven by rotary motion (103) about a support mechanism (109) for providing sufficient force to achieve deformation controlled fracturing (523). This allows the separation material from workpiece (105) without imposing axial symmetry upon either or (105). The mitigates and/or eliminates adverse effects plastic (504) while wider range shapes materials with greater productivity precision than existing methods machining.
