Cutting tests were performed according to the requirements of
the ISO 8688. Machining parameters used are shown in Table 1. A tool
dynamometer (9255B, Kistler) was used to measure the cutting forces.
Comprehensive data on wear performance including flank wear, rake
wear, average cutting forces and chipping intensity was reported. The
coated tool wear and chipping was measured using a Mitutoyo optical
microscope and a magnification of 30×
