This document discusses assessing cutting fluid as a key parameter in evaluating surface finish for CNC turning operations. It begins with an abstract that outlines exploring tool-workpiece combinations of HCHCr material with cemented carbide and CBN tools. Statistical analysis methods like ANOVA, DOE and regression will be used to identify optimal machining parameters. Experimental validation will then be conducted to evaluate the determined parameters. A literature review covers previous research on optimizing surface roughness in turning. The problem statement identifies that variation in speed, feed, depth of cut and coolant type influence material removal rate and surface roughness. The objectives are to determine optimal values for these parameters to achieve desired surface finish with satisfactory material removal. The methodology will use analytical and physical
