The machining parameters used for roughing operation are Spindle Speed – 1000rpm, 1500rpm, 2000rpm, Cut Feed – 2000mm/min, 2500mm/min, 3000mm/min , Step Over – 20mm, 25mm, 30mm and depth of cut – 0.5mm. The machining parameters used for finishing operation are Spindle Speed – 2000rpm, 2200rpm, 2500rpm, Cut Feed – 1000mm/min, 1200mm/min, 1500mm/min , Step Over – 5mm, 10mm, 12mm and depth of cut – 0.3mm.

INTRODUCTION Milling is the machining process of using rotary cutters to remove material from a work piece by advancing (or feeding) in a direction at an angle with the axis of the tool. It covers a wide variety of different operations and machines, on scales from small individual parts to large, heavy-duty gang milling operations. It is one of the most commonly used processes in industry and machine shops today for machining parts to precise sizes and shapes.

LITERATURE REVIEW In the work done by Drazen Bajic[1], examines the influence of three cutting parameters on surface roughness, tool wear and cutting force components in face milling as part of the off-line process control.

Sidda reddy[2], The experiments were conducted using Taguchi’s l50 orthogonal array in the design of experiments (doe) by considering the machining parameters such as nose radius (r), cutting speed (v), feed (f), axial depth of cut (d) and radial depth of cut(rd).
