 abstract={The use of glass, carbon and hybrid /glass/carbon epoxy polymer composites is widely used in the automotive, manufacturing and aerospace sectors. Milling is a secondary production process in which the final shape of the product is produced with the desired shape and high dimensional accuracy. The objective of this study is to enhance our knowledge of the machinability properties of composite materials in the secondary manufacturing industry. In this research study, performing face milling operations with different tools on bidirectional (BD) glass, unidirectional (UD) glass, carbon/epoxy, and glass/carbon/epoxy (hybrid epoxy) polymer composites. This experimental work derives conclusions that contribute to the improvement of the milling process for better surface quality. Taguchi’s L16 Design of Experiments (DOE) and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) are used to determine the effect of tool type, speed of spindle, rate of feed, cut depth on surface roughness and delamination factor. And it was concluded that glass/carbon hybrid epoxy polymer laminates showed improved surface quality when milled with a Poly Crystalline Diamond (PCD) tool at parametric combinations of rate of feed is 300 mm/min, speed of spindle is 1000 rpm, and cutting depth is 0.5 mm. In addition, the experimental results of the scanning electron microscope examination were also verified. And found excellent machined surface quality and least damage with the above optimal process parameter combinations.},
