The study investigates the problem of modeling cutting-force components through response surface methodology and reports the results of an investigation into the impact of machining parameters on the cutting mechanics of polymer-matrix composites. The novelty of this study is the modeling of cutting forces and the determination of mathematical models of these forces. The models describe the values of forces as a function of the milling parameters. In addition, the cutting resistance of the composites was determined. The influence of the material and rake angle of individual tools on the cutting force components was also determined. Measurements of the main (tangential) cutting force showed that, using large rake angles for uncoated carbide tools, one could obtain maximum force values that were similar to those obtained with polycrystalline diamond tools with a small rake angle. The results of the analysis of the tangential component of cutting resistance showed that, regardless of the rake angle, the values range from 140 N to 180 N. An analysis of the feed component of cutting resistance showed that the maximum values of this force ranged from 46 N to 133 N. The results showed that the highest values of the feed component of cutting resistance occurred during the machining of polymer composites with carbon fibers and that they were most affected by feed per tooth. It was also shown that the force models determined during milling with diamond insert tools had the highest coefficient of determination in the range of 0.90-0.99. The cutting resistance analysis showed that the values tested are in the range of 3.8 N/mm2 to 15.5 N/mm2.
