Turn-milling is a relatively new machining technology which is performed for cutting of symmetrical or non-symmetrical rotational parts. The determination of cutting parameters in turn-milling is crucial for the sake of higher productivity. However, using experimental approach for determination of the parameters is not cost effective; hence it is important to develop predictive models, especially analytical models, for improved process outputs. In this study, cutting forces, part quality, MRR and cutting temperatures are modeled for orthogonal turn-milling operation. The developed models are verified by experiments. The results show that the eccentricity parameter in turn-milling has a significant effect on process outputs.
