A method for designing cutting conditions for cutting a workpiece with a cutting tool uses design parameters, including a feed speed, an axial direction cutting amount, a radial direction cutting amount, and a cutting speed of/by the cutting tool. A deflection amount of the cutting tool is calculated from the design parameters. Then a chattering vibration occurs or not in the cutting tool is determined. Depending on the determination result, a maximum cutting thickness of the workpiece is calculated. Then a cutting temperature of the cutting tool is calculated. Then whether a tool life of the cutting tool is satisfied or not is determined. Depending on the determination result, a cutting efficiency of the cutting tool is calculated and compared with data of a cutting efficiency stored in advance. When the calculated cutting efficiency is a maximum value among the data, the design parameters are used as the cutting conditions.
