• Selecting cutting tools and workpiece materials commonly used in machine shops to ensure practicality and relevance of the study
• Determining the range of cutting conditions based on a combination of handbook recommendations, machine specifications, technicians' expertise, and understanding of tool wear mechanisms
• Utilizing statistical knowledge to design a robust test plan
• Tracking the tool wear geometry under various cutting distance and cutting conditions
• Analyzing tool wear initiation reasons and propagation tendencies by considering material failure mechanisms, local temperature, and cutting forces under diverse cutting conditions
• Providing recommendations for an optimal range of cutting conditions and estimated tool life based on observed tool wear propagation trends
• Publishing and presenting the work in International Manufacturing Science and Engineering Conference 2022 with the title “An investigation of chipping propagation on carbide tool in end milling for prototyping”
