A.
HELIX ANGLE - EFFECTS ON CUTTING FORCE By increasing the Helix Angle:
- Axial Force F z , increase (and the ratio F_ AX /F_ TAN ) - Cutting forces in the XY plane decrease - The delay between the cutting edge “slices” engaged increase. - Reduction of the Torque
B.
HELIX ANGLE - EFFECTS ON CHIP EVACUATION By increasing the Helix Angle: - The flute section effective for chip evacuation decreases in surface - The direction of chip evacuation changes: ▪ Chips are pulled up more with a “Corkscrew Effect”

HELIX ANGLE - SQUARE SHOULDER END MILLS 30• C. ▪ Wide chip flutes
▪ Small axial forces (reduced risk of pull out from the holder
