Surface texture is influenced by the machining, cutting parameters. The MOTIF-method is a system for the evaluation of the primary profile and based on the envelope system and is suitable as an alternative to the mean line system. The MOTIF-method determines the upper points of the surface profile, which have an importance for the functional behavior. Roughness and waviness can be evaluated directly based on the diagram of the unfiltered profile. The effects of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on surface texture analysis have been studied. The experiments were conducted to study the effect of machining parameters on turning of mild steel. The total set of experiments carried out is 27. The specimen was turned under different levels and R, Rx and Ar values were analysed. Results obtained concluded that the Feed rate is the significant factor.
