Abstract
Experimental studies on micro-milling and micro-drilling in aluminum 6061-T6 have been carried out. A range of different cutting speeds, chip loads and depths of cut using a tool of 127μm diameter were considered. Drilling experiments with different feed to diameter ratios, cutting speeds and two drill diameters were conducted. The influence of the cutting parameters on burr size and burr type was observed. A comparison to burr formation in conventional machining is presented.
