Even though many techniques have been used in the research for the quality of a surface, the effect of each cutting condition on the surface roughness has yet to be definitely determined. In the present study, the cause of the contradictory effect of the cutting condition was explained. As a result, the cutting velocity was found to be an improper cutting parameter for explaining variations in surface roughness. It was also discovered that the depth of cut could affect the surface roughness, contrary to the claims of most publications. Consequently, the optimum cutting conditions were determined for the finest surface roughness, and were proven to be significantly better than those obtained using the Taguchi method and methods described in the literature.
