In present day of technology development, there is big demand for light and strong materials. And in industrial sector
machining these materials, and a crucial task, most goods in industry needs to go through some or the other machining
operation. which demands for optimum cutting conditions with minimum amount of force generated. In the present study an
attempt made to identify the optimum cutting parameters while turning most practically used industrial steel EN-31 material to
collect the machining parameters, a conventional lathe fitted with a tool dynamometer is used.
