Industrial application of micro-milling faces several scientific, technological and economic issues. To address these issues, we have developed a micro-orthogonal cutting facility in which chip thickness can be controlled to within a micron and cutting forces can be measured. This paper presents the facility and preliminary results of micro-orthogonal cutting on copper, in the form of span observations, cutting ratio measurements and estimates of shear angles and cutting forces.
