Turning is one of the oldest and most important manufacturing processes for the production of components in almost every industrial sector. Since the Middle Ages, this process is being continuously developed and adapted to the changing needs. The cutting technology, however, brings the producers to the limits of the technical transability, particularly with regard to small and very small components. Tool wear, tool life, machining forces and heat affected zone became a limiting factor.
