The history of high-speed machining

Abstract

The paper analyzes the introduction of High Speed Cutting technology since 1931 by C. Salomon; the conversion of the fundamental knowledge into industrial products and its great future potential. The advantage and disadvantage of this relatively new conception of removal of material, the obstacles to be reached, the state of art that have already been reached by the machine toll industry and centers of research and also the application field, holistic development of process, the benefits introduced even for standard CNC machines due to development of this new technology, will be described.
