This dataset is a supplement to the paper titled "Fiber Orientation Angle Effects in Machining of Unidirectional CFRP Laminated Composites" (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmapro.2014.06.001). High speed videography of eight cutting tests were performed to study how cutting angle effects cutting force and workpiece surface finish. A description of the experimental setup, as well as a discussion of results, are given in the paper. Files containing video, thermal, force, and synchronization data for the tests are available for downloading. Detailed description is provided in the document "CFRP_Machining_Data_Description.pdf".
