Foot formation in the workpiece during shaping operation is not favourable with early tool fracture, when a cutter exits the workpiece edge. Foot formation occurs due to gradual rotation of the positive shear plane to the negative shear plane about a pivot point. A number of tests in shaping operation is done in the present work on nickel chrome steel (En25) flats. Experiments are carried out in dry environment under different cutting velocities, rake angles and exit edge bevel angles to note the effect of foot formation. Experimental results are analyzed through ANOVA to find out the significance of the effect of cutting parameters and exit edge bevel angle to minimize the foot formation. It is observed foot formation that an exit edge bevel angle has the most significant effect. An exit edge bevel angle of 150 is recommended in orthogonal shaping operation when no foot formation is found.
