Most machined parts are produced by cutting. Therefore, research in this field is quite important nowadays. Surface roughness is an extremely important quality parameter of a product, such as geometrical sizes and their tolerance. The authors in this article analysed the machinability of die-cast aluminium alloys with silicon often used in the industry. The turning experiments were made with different diamond tools edge geometry. The surface roughness obtained during turning was analysed in detail. Phenomenological models were created with which the surface roughness producing ability of the examined tools can be estimated in technological design.
