This document summarizes an experimental analysis of machining parameters when using a single point cutting tool in turning operations. The experiment tested various spindle speeds, feed rates, and depths of cut to determine their effects on surface roughness, tool life, and material removal rate (MRR). Tests were conducted on a lathe using a high-speed steel single point tool to machine S50C medium carbon steel. Results showed that higher speeds, feeds, and depths increased MRR but decreased tool life. Surface roughness also increased at higher speeds. The analysis provides equations to calculate cutting forces, tool life, surface roughness, and MRR based on the machining parameters. Graphs of the results are also presented. In conclusion, the optimal mach
