Wear characteristics and tool-life curves in machining of low and medium carbon steels with various types of cut-away tools made of carbide and high speed steel are described and compared with those for conventional tools.<BR>Although an artificial reduction of natural tool-chip contact length usually reduces both crater and flank wear, there always exists optimum value of contact length below which tool-life is shortened. The optimum length depends on side rake angle of the tool and is found that the smaller the rake angle, the shorter the length becomes.<BR>In comparison of tool wear at the optimum contact length, it is found that flank wear is somewhat increased, but crater is substantially reduced as the rake angle is decreased.<BR>Tools with sufficiently reduced contact length show a special type of crater which is not formed on the first rake face, but mainly develops along the second rake face. This characteristic is well explained by the theory of cutting mechanism presented in the previous papers.<BR>Not only cutting temperature but also shape of cutting edge has a great importance on tool wear even in high speed machining. The wear mechanism appears to be explained as a stressdependent rate process.
