Bo?kovi?a bb, 21000 Split Key words: cutting parameters, longitudinal turning, cutting forces ABSTRACT Cutting forces are one of the most basic productivity features and as such represent important criteria in the optimization and control of a cutting process. This paper deals with the influence analysis of cutting parameters (cutting speed, depth and feed) on the cutting forces for the case of longitudinal turning. Second order central composite experimental design was used for the analysis and mathematical modeling. The outputs from the mathematical model were compared with the outputs resulting from the use of Kienzl’s tangential cutting force equation. 1. INTRODUCTION Obstacle that is significant for successful exploitation of modern machine tool systems is the absence of reliable technology data needed for their programming. Illusion exist that in this computer age there is no need for in depth knowledge of machining. On a contrary in these novel market conditions there is a need for developing new laws of: machining, cutting abilities of highly productive tools, materials, etc. Modern machine tool systems are required to function with high reliability and effectiveness which depend on the quality of the inputs: machinability of a material, stiffness of a machine tool system, optimal cutting parameters, surface roughness, tool wear law, etc. Data related to machinability of a material are hard to find and they lack on reliability. The main reason for this is long and expensive experiments needed to determine machinability of a material. Machinability of a material cannot be easily and unambiguously determined and quantified.
