A study on surface roughness in end milling Glass fiberreinforced plastics

Milling is the most practical machining operation for removing excess material to produce a well defined and high quality surface. This paper presents an approach for the determination of the optimal cutting parameters (spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut) and end mill flutes leading to minimum surface roughness in end milling of Glass fiber reinforced plastics)GFRP), it can be clearly seen that a good agreement is observed between the experimental measurements.
