Tsao and Hocheng [90]

Carbon fiber

Plastic

· Diameter ratio

· Feed rate

· Spindle speed

· The highest thrust force was by decreasing diameter ratio, spindle speed, and increasing feed rate

· Lowest thrust force recorded when diameter ratio and spindle speed increased while decreasing feed rate

Khashaba, El-Sonbaty [93]

Woven Glass fiber

Epoxy

· Feed rate

· Spindle speed

· Drill diameter

· Increasing the cutting feed rates increased the thrust force

· Higher thrust forces were obtained with a bigger diameter.

Tsao and Chiu [19]

Carbon fiber

Plastic

· Spindle speed

· Cutting velocity

· Feed rate

· Cutting velocity and feed rate have the most impact on thrust force

Krishnaraj, Prabukarthi [96]

Carbon fiber

Plastic

· Spindle speed

· Feed rate

· Thrust forces increased with an increase in feed rate

· Thrust forces decreased with an increase in spindle speed
