Abstract: In the process of cutting in machining metallic materials, there is an electrical signal due to mainly of temperature which appears in the cutting area. In the paper is shown the use of this electrical signal to control the quality of carbide inserts during the process of machining. At the same time is presented the possibility to use this electric signal which appears in machining process in the assessment of the temperature from the cutting field.
