Abstract
This paper discusses the issues related to force measurement in micro milling and presents the results of the
experimental investigation performed in an on going Cross Divisional Project within the 4M network of Excellence,
aiming at force analysis and process characterization in micro milling. Reliable force measurement in micro milling is
shown to be a challenging task. Measured forces are affected by contributions coming from the machining system.
Based on the performed measurements, tool engagement has been demonstrated to occur at each tooth passing,
even at feeds per tooth as low as 2 μm.
