Abstract
Purpose
The main aim of the study was to measure the cutting forces and chip shapes based on different machining parameters.
Design/methodology/approach
To get the best optimal machining conditions, it is essential to use the best combination of machining parameters. Although some machining parameters are not important for the process, there are machining parameters which are very important for the machining process.
Findings
It is essential to determine which machining parameters are the most dominant to make the optimal machining conditions.
Originality/value
Six different chip shapes are obtained according to ISO standardization. It was determined that the different cutting forces occurred for the different chip shapes.
