The aim of work is to improve the tool life without affecting machine parameter likes MRR
and also without investment for new tool. The experiment is based on Taguchi method including suitable
orthogonal array. The experiment was conducted twice on material AISI 4820H Alloy steel on CNC
vertical milling machine. The ANOVA technique will apply to study significance of each machining
parameter on the TOOL LIFE and MRR. There are total nine set of variety taken for a study of tool life
by varying the depth of cut, Spindle Speed, Feed, Cutting Velocity and same were repeated again for
Diamond coated End mill cutter. The change in life observed was positive varying from minimum of
12.61 % to the maximum increased of tool life 16.69%.
