In this work, ultra-precision machining on aluminum alloys were carried out to investigate the surface quality using single point diamond tools (SPDT) cutters. Examined by SEM, the machined surfaces took on many defects such as microcracks, pits, voids or even scratches. It was found out that the cu...
