Automation in machining processes requires high strength new cutting tool to co-up with high speed, feed and high-temperature working conditions. The present work is aimed to analyze the performance of newly fabricated powder metallurgy (P/M) alloy steel, Fe-0.5 %C-2 %Cu-2 %Mo-2 %Ti as a cutting tool under turning of copper material using a conventional lathe. Taguchi’s experimental design matrix is used to conduct the experiment with cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate as working parameters. The tool performance is assessed by evaluating the surface quality of the work material. Signal-to-noise ratio employs to optimize the working parameters. The surface roughness of copper work material machined by the P/M tool is a minimum at 43.175 m/min, 0.1 mm and 0.43 mm/rev of cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate, respectively. Finally, the experimental analysis reveals that the P/M cutting tool will exhibit a comparable performance against the conventional HSS tool.
