The machining of modern materials such as carbon fibre-reinforced plastics (CFRP) is a growing challenge for the manufacturers of cutting tools. To economically machine the latest materials, effective high-tech tools are required that above all prevent the delamination or fibre projections on the component as well as any thermal damage whilst operating with extreme efficiency. With the new CFRP varieties there is a noticeable trend towards reduced resin content and above all the unidirectional orientation of the fibres. Whilst the fibres in woven condition are firmly embedded in the resin fibre matrix, in the unidirectional CFRP they lie next to each other in the resin. The result shows a lack of interlocking embedding.
