Lubrication control and tribological aspects affect all the machining operations: minimizing the friction coefficient, reducing the heat generated during machining or decreasing stresses during cutting operations are just some sought goals during machining. A fundamental aspect is also related to the drop of the amount of cutting fluid required during manufacturing processes. In fact, this can respond to issues related to the process sustainability thus allowing machining under MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) conditions. The aim of this work is to propose an effective methodological procedure to texture cutting tools with complex geometry. A picosecond laser system operating at infrared frequency was used to structure the whole cutting tool surface. Rectangular dimples were selected as texture pattern to ensure the evaluation of the dimensions achieved by the dimples. Textured surfaces topography will allow the evaluation of the effectiveness of the developed process.
