Abstract
This paper describes the goals and activities of the CIRP Working Group on Modeling of Machining Operations. The basic aim is to serve the metal-cutting industry through the development of better scientific models that will make it possible to reliably predict machining performance. Many different types of models for metal-cutting operations are classified and evaluated. The working group decided to concentrate on the development of models that could predict the precision of workpieces for the most frequently used operations such as turning, milling, and hole making. A large group of active international researchers are currently participating in this cooperative effort. Further contributions from other researchers all over the world are invited.
