Description
A Locally made cutting fluid emulsion of l5% concentration was formulated.
M:tchinniJility tcsls wca·c condudcd on medium carbon steel using a single point
·high-speed steel (I-ISS) cuHing tools to determine the effectiv~ness of the formulated
cutting fluid. The cutting speeds of 24, 27, 30, 33, and 361\1/min were used. The·
flanks wear land and nose wear of the tool wcr·c measured after each machining
interval using mitutoyo toolmaiH·rs microscope with a magnification of 30. It was
found that the tool wear charadrris(ics and tool life, using the locally formulated
cutting fluid were in close ag:·£_~J1Cllt wiJJLJh~- PTE'!YL?.!ILJ1'Drks. The maximum
