Bonded composite cutting tools has been introduced to enhance surface finish and reduce cutting forces. The main objective of the current study is to assess factors that influence the thermal stresses developed in adhesively bonded carbide tip face milling cutters using numerical analysis. Both plain, copper filled adhesives, dry and coolant factors are considered in current study. It is found that thermal stresses developed in bonded carbide tip face milling cutter decrease tremendously with applying cutting coolant and little effect was reported when adding copper filler to adhesive.
