The extrapolation method on zero cut chip thickness is used very often to determine the ploughing forces. But there are many opponents of the extrapolation method on zero uncut thickness. The aim of this research was to increase the accuracy of determination of the ploughing force and to investigate the effect of processing materials and cutting tool wear on the ploughing force values. To achieve this aim was used the method comparing total forces at different flank levels of wear to determine the ploughing forces. The experiments were performed by cutting of aluminum alloys, structural steels and stainless steel with different cutting tool wear.
