This paper presents a new method to detect and eliminate rear gouging in five-axis machining of sculptured surfaces. The method is based on finding accurate swept sections of flat-ended tools. The proposed swept sections, two dimensional representations of the geometry of the moving tool, enable the gouge detection and elimination calculations to be done in two dimensions, thereby reducing complexity.
