Drilling is an essential operation in the the Surface finish when drilling POLYMER MATRIX assembly of the structural frames of automobiles and aircrafts. The life of a joint can be critically affected by the COMPOSITE (E-Glass) with HSS drill. This study included quality of the drilled holes.

LITERATURE REVIEW 1. INTRODUCTION J.Pradeep Kumar analyzed that to utilize Taguchi method Drilling is one of the most fundamental machining to investigate the effects of drilling parameters on surface processes. It is most frequently performed in material roughness, tool wear by weight, material removal rate and removal and is used as a preliminary step for many hole diameter error in drilling of OHNS material using HSS operations such as reaming, tapping and boring. It is spiral drill. Orthogonal arrays of Taguchi, the Signal–to- moving toward high speed applications for productivity Noise (S/N) ratio, the analysis of variance (ANOVA), and enhancement. Drilling is a process of producing round regression analysis are employed to analyze the effect of hole in solid material or enlarging existing hole with the drilling parameters on the quality of drilled holes.
