CAD - MODEL
The 3D model of the cutting tool was created using SolidWorks. The geometry was based on a standard single-point cutting tool with provision to vary the tool-tip radius as per the experimental design. The workpiece was modeled as a simplified block of Inconel 718 to act as the contact interface during load application in stress analysis.
Key dimensional features of the tool were kept constant except for the tool-tip radius, which was varied across 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, and 0.6 mm according to the experimental plan.
The CAD model of the machining assembly, as shown in Figure 2, was developed to simulate the interaction between the cutting tool and workpiece under varying machining conditions.

MATERIAL AND GEOMETRIC PROPERTIES
The materials selected for simulation were Tungsten Carbide for the cutting tool and Inconel 718 for the workpiece. Their mechanical and thermal properties are detailed in Table 1.
