ABSTRACT
In this paper, the effect of tool rake, tool shape, tool radius and tool material on the tool chip interface temperatures was investigated when machining mild steel workpiece material. The machining tests were carried out on a shaper. For temperature measurement, a test setup that was designed and constructed for temperature measurement was used. The LM 35 types sensor were used to construct the setup and cutting temperature measurement readings were recorded on a computer during the tests. The MINITAB15 software is used to draw main effect plots and interaction plots between parameters. The effect of process parameters like feed, cutting speed, depth of cut, tool material, and tool shape and tool geometry is seen on the tool chip interface temperature.
