The experimental investigations of the delamination factor of glass fiber reinforced plastic at different cutting parameters are reported in this study. This paper has involved the determination of different factors affecting the hole quality and cause of delamination in a glass fiber reinforced plastic. The various process parameters like different twist drill bits of different materails, different point angle at different speed, feed rate have been taken. The thrust forces and torque values were measured using piezoelectric dynamometer. Mathematical model has been developed for different machining conditions using Minitab software with help of Taguchi design to plan the experiments. The Universal microscope has been used which determines delaminated diameter in GFRP specimens. The finite element method has been applied by using Ansys11.0 software which helped to find out delaminated diameter. It was experimentally observed that for the tungsten carbide and M50 drill bits, the thrust force and torque significant increases on increasing the point angle and feed rate.
