The paper is based on an applied scientific research carried out within a doctoral thesis. It is proposed to use the Taguchi Method in order to model the cutting regime factors to obtain the best quality of the surface machined by the end-milling, considering experimental statistical modelling. The orthogonal matrix, the signal-noise ratio and the variance analysis are used to study the performance conditions in the milling operation of an aluminum workpiece using a standard cutting tool. Three end-milling factors, namely, cutting speed, cutting depth and feed rate, are modelled considering the surface roughness. The tests results obtained are disseminated to illustrate the effectiveness of the analyzed process.
