The machining experiments were carried out on the lathe machine (KIRLOSKAR TURN MASTER-35 with maximum 1400 rpm) in dry condition. The power consumption and surface roughness was measured by using Watt meter and MITUTOYO- Portable Surface Roughness tester (SURFTEST SJ-301, diamond tip with nose radius of 5μm) as shown in figure 2 and figure 3 respectively.
