This work aims to model the performance factor of metallic surfaces (surface roughness Ra) and optimize cutting conditions (rotation speed N, feed rate f, and lubrication type) during the boring of holes in an alloy steel (50CrNi3Mn) using a carbide reamer. The combination of the Box-Behnken Design and ANOVA was applied with 15 experiments based on the L15 orthogonal design, using the following factors: rotation speed (22 (m/min) and 43 (m/min)), feed rate f (1.67, 3.33, and 5 mm/sec), and lubrication type (dry, air, and oil). A statistical analysis of the results was performed based on ANOVA to identify the most significant parameters affecting the experimental responses. A desirability function approach was established to find the optimal factors to minimize Ra. The optimal conditions obtained according to the three chosen criteria are as follows: Vc = 22.261, f = 1.796 (mm/sec) with oil lubrication. The optimized surface roughness is Ra = 3.463 m.
