ABSTRACT  This research outlines the Taguchi's Parameter Design Approach, which is applied to optimize cutting parameters in drilling. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to study the effect of process parameters on machining process. This procedure eliminates the need for repeated experiments, saves time and conserves the material as opposed by the conventional procedure. The drilling parameters investigated are cutting speed and feed rate. An orthogonal array has been used to conduct the experiments and raw data and signal-to-noise ratio are employed to analyze the influence of these parameters on axial force during drilling. The methodology could be useful in predicting thrust and torque parameters as a function of cutting parameters and specimen parameters. The main objective is to find the important factors and combination of factors influencing the machining process to achieve low axial force.
