Carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites are materials that are difficult to machine due to the anisotropic and heterogeneous properties of the material and poor surface quality, which can be seen during the machining process. The machining of these materials causes delamination and surface roughness owing to excessive cutting forces. This causes the material not to be used. The reduction of damage and surface roughness is an important aspect for product quality. Therefore, the experimental study carried out on milling of CFRP composite material is of great importance. End milling tests were performed at CNC milling vertical machining center. In the experiments, parameters considered for the end milling of CFRP were cutting speed, feed rate, and flute number of end mill. The results showed that damage, surface roughness, and cutting forces were affected by cutting parameters and flute number of end mill. The best machining conditions were achieved at low feed rate and four-flute end mill.
