An innovative cutting method, constant load feeding method, is proposed as a high precision secondary working tool in CFRP cutting. The constant load feeding can restrain the occurrence of cutting defects such as burr and scuffing in a diamond saw cutting. The combining of constant load feeding with point contact eliminated most of the cutting defects even in the CFRP cutting with a low rigidity cutting tool like the diamond saw blade. In addition, there was no apparent cutting damage on the cutting surface obtained from the drilling with constant load feeding. These facts indicate that the self-generated feed rate in the constant load feeding would be the optimal feed rate to realize a defect-free drilling of CFRP composites.
