In the current market, the quality and durability of components are the key customer requirements. Power consumption(kW), Surface roughness(Ra), and Material removal rate(MRR) are major consideration in modern CNC turning industry. Thus using various machining process parameters such as rate of feed(f), radius of nose(r), cutting speed(N) and cutting depth(d), an experimental assessment on power consumption, surface roughness and material removal rate is carried out and the influence of individual parameters is measured. Experiments have been carried out on a precision center lathe and then the impact of cutting parameters was investigated using the variance analysis (ANOVA) which is depend on Taguchi technique L8 orthogonal array. The optimal value for surface roughness, power consumption and material removal rate were defined for the two levels of the process parameter, and analyzed on the basis of the main effects plots and contour plots obtained via the Taguchi method. Regression equations are derived to estimate the value of response variable from the experimental data.
