Abstract: In this paper, a new single grit model between the workpiece and the single grit considering both cutting and ploughing effects is proposed to predict the material deformation and microgrinding forces. The proposed model predictions are compared to the experiment data of the Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) cutting for validation. Extension of the single grit model by stochastic distribution analysis to predict the entire microgrinding forces is also presented.
