hardened tool steels (such as AISI H11‚ H13‚ and D2‚ up to 56 HRC) by commercial Ø 0.5 mm square endmills‚ it is observed that the tested micro endmills showed severe wear at an early stage of the process due to chipping off around cutting edge corners‚ resulting in unsatisfactory tool life and product appearance (burr formation). Detailed examination of current tool geometry shows that it is mainly inherited from that of macro endmills‚ making the cutting edge corners the weakest part on the tool. As
