Description
Summary:<p>In this study, 2 types of polymers were mixed, namely polyester and vinylester called polyester-vinylester blend (PVB) as the test workpiece. The experiments carried out were testing the surface quality of the hole, namely surface roughness (R<sub>a</sub>), and surface hardness alteration (SHA) after drilling. In this study, the effects of spindle speed (<em>n</em>) &amp; feedrate (<em>f</em>), cutting-edge angle (<em>K<sub>r</sub></em>), and PVB composition (<em>P%V%</em>) were tested. The results showed that the factor that most influenced the surface roughness value was the feedrate with a contribution value of 39% and the PVB composition (32%) for PVB dominantly polyester. Whereas in vinylester dominant PVB, the most influential factor is the spindle speed (50%). For the measurement of surface hardness alteration that occurs, the factor that affects surface hardness alteration is the cutting-edge angle (44%) in PVB dominantly of polyester. While in vinylester dominant PVB, the influencing factor is spindle speed (44%).</p>
