this perspective, the use of cryogenic cooling in the

In addition to examining the cutting edge rounding, outer
corner wear is also needed to be examined and controlled, as
its occurring would lead to a change in the diameter of pro-
duced hole and burr formation. Figure 6 shows the compari-

difference between the progression of outer corner wear of

used in dry condition is 496 μm, it was only 196 μm in cryo-
