Reviewer 2 Report
Comments and Suggestions for AuthorsThe paper presents some interesting research work on A Comparative Study of Mathematical Methods for Determining Colding's Constants for Milling of Steels and their experimental validation. However, the paper manuscript needs to undertake the following revisions:
(1) The paper is better titled as 'A Comparative Study of Mathematical Methods for Determining Colding's Constants for Milling of Steels and the experimental validation'.
(2) The Keywords should be rearranged as 'Metal cutting, Tool life, Colding’s model, Machining process modelling and optimization, Machining dynamics'.
(3) In section 5, the paper should provide a further clarification and discussion on the effect of cutting dynamics on the tool wear, as the machining dynamics plays an essential role on chatters and thus tool wear/tool life in milling processes.
(4) All appendices (Appendix A to Appendix E) should have an appropriate title (heading) respectively.
(5) The following very relevant book in the topic area should be reviewed, particularly against the above comments:
- K. Cheng (Editor), Machining Dynamics: Theory, Applications and Practices, Springer, London, November 2008.
