Abstract: This exploration is conceded to reveal the outcome of machining factors such as cutting velocity, depth of cut and feed rate on the mean cutting force and the cutting power on turning AISI 3415 cylindrical steel alloy components. The experiments are planned based on the (33) full factorial design and conducted on an All Geared Lathe with TiN coated cutting tool insert of 0.8mm nose radius, simultaneously cutting forces such as feed force, thrust force and tangential force are observed using a calibrated lathe tool dynamometer adapted in the tool holder. A mathematical expression representing mean cutting force and cutting power is created by means of non-linear regression examination. The outcome of each machining factors on the mean cutting force and the cutting power is studied and presented accordingly.
