Abstract
The purpose of this thesis is to find the relationship between surface finish and machining parameters. A series of experiments have been performed at shop floor of NJIT, on MAZAK(CNC turning center), using two different cutting tool materials(high speed steel and cemented carbide) and a workpiece of Aluminium. The results have been then evaluated and analyzed to see the effects of various combinations of cutting conditions, that is, feed, speed, and depth of cut. Recommendations have been made on the basis of analysis to estimate the minimum and maximum values of surface roughness with respect to the cutting conditions for Aluminium using HSS tool and Carbide tool for a specific surface finish.
