EN 18 is one of the versatile metal that exists its presences in all the industrial, transportation and building equipment’s. Machining of these material is done on large scale and consumes a whole lot of lubrication unit. Present paper discuss regarding the usage and substitutional to flood coolant systems by minimum quality lubrication ((MQL) systems for economical friendly green machining operation. Using three-factor parameters speed (50, 75, 100 m/min), feed (0.05, 0.1, 0.15 mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.4, 0.8, 1.2 mm) are varied and turned on the EN 18 steel. The experimental outcomes of surface roughness is discussed with comparison with dry machining and ST-CUT 54 MQL machining. It was observed that with MQL turning the roughness produce better compared to dry machining. The optimum condition was found to be cutting speed at 100m/min, feed at 0.05mm/rev and depth of cut at 0.4mm. The outcomes are useful for improved machining industrial practices.
