This book covers the process and conditions of Rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) of hard materials and summarizes the recommendation of proper machining parameters. The optimum conditions were applied for cutting edge preparation of CBN cutting inserts. The results presented in the book show that RUM is able to create controlled cutting edge preparation.
