Does anyone know how to calculate the cutting forces produced when milling aluminum with end mills (steel or carbide insert)?

RE: milling cutting force

Look at Kenametal and/or Valenite Catalogs.  That's a good place to start.

RE: milling cutting force

To the first approximation
Cutting force = uncut chip cross-sectional area x compressive strength of the work material.

Approximation is fairly good.

Thanks guys.  I found some stuff on the Kenametal site.  I'll compare that to your approximation Viktor.
