摘要：The article handles the influence of a chip former on cutting force and its components. This is allowed by using three grooving inserts from ISCAR company, which differ only with the chip former. These inserts have the same base material, coating and they are designed for the same proportion of recessed slot. The conditions of experiment were used in intersection of recommended cutting conditions of the 3 inserts. During the experiment were observed the components of cutting force at changing feed and cutting speed. The results were compiled in tables and graphs were created for each of the used inserts. The particular force loads of the inserts were compared in the end and conclusions thereof were made.
