Machining is a vital part of the production process in
the manufacturing industries. Turing operation was carried out
on the mild steel to produce shaft of various diameters. The
conditions applied during the turning operation include varying
the cutting speed and feed rate while keeping other cutting
variables like depth of cut constant. The results affirms that an
increase in the cutting speed causes a decrease in the tool life,
increase in the feed rate also affects the surface finish obtained.
