Table 1 The numerical results of the entire experiments. In the table, the following codes are used. S1: speed of 500 rpm; S2: speed of 1000 rpm; S3: speed of 1500 rpm; F1: feed-rate of 35 mm/min; F2: feed-rate of 65 mm/min; F3: feed-rate of 85 mm/min. Therefore, for example, S1-F2 means drilling with speed of 500 rpm and feed-rate of 65 mm/min
