With the use of the NC machine tool, the unmanned production system has been growing recently in the manufacturing field. This there are problems with monitoring adequate tool fracture during the cutting process efficiently. This study was planned and carried out to discover a way of monitoring tool condition in NO-LINE systems during the cutting process. The acquisition of data in cutting force and tool wear has been made in the section examined, to extract the RMS value of the cutting force as specific factors in the cutting process. The fluctuation of the RMS characteristics. From the results, it has been shown that the fluctuation of the RMS values for the cutting force has a close relation to flank wear.
