Rock cutting mechanics has been studied in order to better understand drilling process in cutter scale. The cutting energy is mainly dependent of cutter orientation and rock properties. It was previously reported in the literature that specific energy is strongly dependent of backrake and siderake. Although there have been good attempts to develop an analytical solution to describe the cutting process, the siderake effects are not taken into account. This Thesis proposes an analytical solution for the rock cutting considering both backrake and siderake. The proposed model is considered for sharp and blunt cutters and the solution agrees with preliminary experimental investigation based on the cutting action of clays. With the new model, a parametric study for two hypothetical rocks is made, showing that higher backrakes and/or siderakes increase the specific energy in an exponential-like trend. The backrake effect is strongly dependent of the rock internal friction angle though. The effects depth of cut and confining pressure were also investigated. Moreover, the effects of cutter bluntness are presented through the E-S diagram.
