Abstract

The selection of the best end mill is a complex task because there are many alternatives and criteria to be taken into consideration when making decisions. In this paper, the selection of solid carbide end mill for machining Al 6082-T6 is presented using TOPSIS multi-criteria decision making method, where the objective weights are determined by CRITIC method. Based on the four criteria (number of end mill teeth, cutting speed, feed per tooth and the price) a selection of the most appropriate alternative of the six, i.e. from different manufacturers of cutting tools (Seco, YCT and Iscar).
