The analysis of cutting forces during in-cut and out-cut milling of EN AC-AlSi10Mg cast aluminum alloy was presented. The research included measurement of the components of the total cutting force: Ff, Fp and Fc (Fx, Fy, Fz respectively) and determination of their amplitudes at a constant feed per tooth value and the adopted variable technological parameters, i.e.: depth of cut ap, milling width ae and cutting speed vc. Based on the obtained results, it was found that along with the increase in the depth of cut and the milling width, the values of selected components and their amplitudes increase for both in-cut and out-cut milling. During rise of cutting speed, it was observed that the components of the total cutting force increase to the speed vc = 450 m/min, then their values begin to decrease. This is related to the transition from conventional machining to the range of High Speed Cutting. It is important that higher values of cutting forces were noted in the case of out-cut milling instead of in-cut milling.
