In Ball end milling processes, characterized by use of rotating tools, the underformed chip volume varies periodically with the phase change of tool. In current study, as a new approach to analyze shear behaviors in the shear plane and chip-tool friction behaviors in the chip-tool contact region during an ball end milling process. In this approach, ball end milling process is transformed into an equivalent oblique cutting process. Experimental investigations for two sets of cutting tests i.e.. ball end milling and the equivalent oblique cutting tests were performed to verify the presented model.
