Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are widely used in high-tech industries like the automobile and aerospace sectors, but the wear resistance of tools is one of the most significant restrictions in machining CFRP. In this study, bionic cutting tools based on surface microstructures of blood clams were fabricated to improve the dry cutting performance of CFRP. Three types of bionic cutting tools with different size parameters were applied in dry cutting test. The three-axis cutting forces and the cutting temperature of the processed workpiece were measured. The average friction coefficient between the rake face and the chip was calculated, and the morphology of the tools wear were observed. The results showed that bionic microstructures with appropriate size parameters can extremely improve the cutting performance of CFRP for tool in turning.
