In this study, the prediction of surface roughness of milled surfaces was carried out using Taguchi Method with four inputs, namely, cutting direction, stepover, feed per tooth and workpiece surface geometry. A systematic approach to obtain an optimal surface roughness was employed to consider the effects of Taguchi method for this application using CNC milling machine with ball mill cutter. The results show that the Taguchi method is an effective tool in predicting the optimum factors to obtain minimum surface roughness, which are stepover, surface type, feed per tooth and cutting direction respectively.
