Tool Condition Monitoring (TCM) is a necessary action during end-milling process as worn milling-tool might irreversibly damage the work-piece. So, there is an urgent need for a TCM system to provide an evaluation of the tool-wear progress and resulted surface roughness. Principally, in-process tool...
