Advancement of Machining process depends solely on cutting tools and machine tools. New tools are being developed and tested, every other day. e.g. special tools for oblique cutting or mechatronics tools. Oblique cutting process uses special tools with continued cutting edge and high value of cutting angle, making new possibilities for research. These tools are characterized basically by single continued edge without the corner of the edge. Corner now have the task of current point of contact between the continuous cutting edge and the machined surface. Single edge tools have straight and circular edge. These tools are very useful for surface finishing. In this paper many new solution of cutting tools for oblique cutting both with straight and curvilinear cutting edge with high value of λs angle (60°) are presented. For analyzing the geometry of these tools CAD models are prepared. In this study, an experimental data in review of oblique cutting process is presented for Ti6Al4V, AISI 4340 and AL7075. Data of process parameters such as shear angle, friction angle, shear stress and chip flow angle are reviewed & analyzed.
