High Metal Removal Rate (HMRR) Machining

The need for improving the productivity of machining operations has encouraged the development of new concepts and techniques, such as thermal machining, as well as high speed and ultra-high speed machining. High metal removal rate machining shares the goal of improving productivity with the others, but its approach is more evolutionary in nature; it attempts to take advantage of step advances in machine and cutting tool technologies, as they occur, and to incorporate them into machining operations with a minimum of delay.
