RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Ruzicka, Ludek A1 Madl, Jan T1 The importance of measured values number in evaluating the wear size of inserts JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2012 VO 12 IS 2 SP 227 OP 232 DO 10.21062/ujep/x.2012/a/1213-2489/MT/12/2/227 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-201202-0027.php AB In evaluating larger number of measurement data, it is proper to analyze them statistically. It is important to determine the effect of measured data number on the experiment results. This paper is focused on the determination of the effect of the basic file size (data obtained in the experiment) on the final measurement results. In milling the cutting inserts of sintered carbide (SC) were used. The same cutting conditions (depth of cut, feed, cutting speed) and were used. The cutting inserts wear was measured after the same cutting time. At the beginning of experiment 120 measured data (edges) were used. Number of measured data was gradually increased (to 240, 360, 480, 600, 720, 840, 960 and 1080). Totally 9 basic files was obtained. In the conclusion of the paper lists of all results are presented together, with their mutual comparison and prediction of the possible development of tool wear at higher number of cutting edges.
