Abstract: This paper elucidates the outcome of machining factors such as cutting velocity, feed rate and depth of cut on the mean cutting force and the cutting power on turning cylindrical AISI52100 steel alloy components. The experiments are designed based on the Taguchi’s L25(53) orthogonal array and conducted on an All Geared Lathe in dry machining condition, simultaneously cutting forces such as feed force, tangential force and thrust force are observed with a calibrated lathe tool dynamometer adapted in the tool holder. A mathematical expression representing mean cutting force and cutting power is developed using non-linear regression analysis. The most favorable parametric circumstances of turning operation have been tested with the confirmation trial. The outcome of each machining factors on the mean cutting force and the cutting power is studied and presented accordingly.
