The purpose of the present work is to analyze surface finish and tool wear on Glass fiber–reinforced plastic composites in turning operation faced out by the manufactures. In machining processes, maximum surface finish and less tool wear are important factors influencing the quality of the surface, tool life, and production output. Thus, the selection of tool and optimizing machining parameters are essential for perfect machining. Machining of GFRP material is difficult to carry out due to its anisotropic properties and non-homogeneous structure. The surface finish and tool wear with different parameters viz. speed, feed, depth of cut, fiber orientation and diameter of fiber should be taken very carefully during turning operation to optimize the desirable machining parameters for best quality as well as productivity.
