Cylindrical grinding, a secondary machining operation, a finishing operation in the manufacturing industry across the world. The volume of removed material over a given time (MRR) and quality of the surface (Roughness) obtained are the two important characteristics that investigated by researchers with respect to output responses from the process in understanding product quantity and quality. These two output parameters, any machining operation, are primarily important in consumer perspective vis-à-vis manufacturer. In this investigation, experiments are conducted and analyzed to arrive at the optimal grinding conditions/parameters in cylindrical grinding. The outcome of the machining will have a good surface quality by removing maximum material; confirming ovality and cylindricity of the specimen made from EN31 and Mild Steel. Taguchi DOE recommendations are considered in investigating the influence of input process parameters i.e. speed, feed, and depth of cut on machining outcome. Regression module in Minitab is used to apply a linear fit which is a general/simple recommendation for the parameters in order to understand the influence of these parameters on the expected outcome i.e., the maximum volume of material removed and to achieve a better surface finish with a minimum value of deviations in ovality (circularity) and cylindricity of the machined component by conducting experiments on a general-purpose cylindrical grinding machine.
