Abstract—Ultrasonic machining with workpiece rotation is an alternative to further increase the area of application of non-traditional manufacturing. This is a process variant of ultrasonic machining (USM) process. This is a very useful process where machining of hard and brittle material becomes very difficult or in some cases it is impossible to machine these materials by conventional methods. Selection of parameters has been done for achieving the better results (Metal Removal Rate (MRR), Surface Roughness (SR)). Therefore considering all the economic and precision factors, maximization of MRR, minimization of SR criteria’s were followed. In this study experiments have been conducted on solid cylindrical Borosilicate glass rod by one-factorat- a-time approach and output characteristics have been measured and studied.
