A new high speed machining experiment is designed to obtain orthogonal cutting in a wide range of cutting speeds from 7 m/s to 100 m/s. Quasi-stationary cutting conditions are obtained. The measurement of the longitudinal cutting force reveals the existence of an optimal cutting speed for which the energy consumption is minimum. The genuine tool-workpiece material interaction can be analyzed with that experimental device.
