Die parts used in automotive and aviation industry have complicated surfaces that require multiaxis machining. In machining of inclined surfaces with ball-end milling, the process is of great significance for its correctness and accuracy. In this study, Acoustic Sound Pressure (ASP) generated during the machining of a workpiece at a vertical machining centre has been measured. The experiments have been conducted in association with cutting velocity, feed rate and step over parameters determined by using different surface forms and different cutter path strategies. Therefore, the aim of this study is to understand the relationships between the generated sound signals and surface roughness in the machining of inclined concave and convex surfaces.
