Abstract
This paper presents the influence of cutting tool geometry on cutting force. It is known that the shear angle influence of the cutting force, the angle is affected by rake angle. The analysis was done using the finite element to determine the dependence of cutting force and cutting tool geometry and to better understand the cutting process by turning of polyamide PA66 - GF30. Processing was carried out with a metal plate lathe knife SCMT 12 04 04, from Sandvik Coromant.
