In previous paper, turning with environment-friendly cooling method using water evaporation was investigated for the earth. In the turning using water evaporation, the tool life was 2 times of the dry cutting. Surface roughness of the machined work piece using this cooling was equal to that of dry cutting. Cylindricity of the machined work piece using this cooling was one third of that of dry cutting. In this report, in the cutting with environment-friendly cooling using water evaporation, influence of cutting condition, work piece material and tip material was investigated. It is concluded from the results that ; (1)Environment-friendly cooling using water evaporation was effective at the time of cutting with large heat generation such as heavy or middle cutting. (2) In case of cutting of a work piece with large specific cutting force, as area of tip surface is a little, cooling capacity of this method using water evaporation wasn't sufficient. (3) In case of tip with heat resisting material such as cermet or ceramic, this method using water evaporation was ineffective.
