The F value helps to identify the contribution of particular process input in developing response of kerf width (Kw). The p value helps to identify the significance of a particular variable or combination of variables in the response of kerf width. If p value less than 0.05 for a particular variable or combination of variables, then it is considered sensitive in producing a response of kerf width. If a p value greater than or equal to 0.1 meant insignificant that is no sensitiveness in producing a response of kerf width.
