Abrasive water jet machining, one of the non-traditional processes for machining and cutting uses the abrasive particles mixed with the water jet and is impinged onto the workpiece for manufacturing processes. In this study focus is on the investigation of experimental work based on Taguchi method for machining of granite material with abrasive water jet machine. Three control factors were selected - Traverse speed (mm/min), Water pressure (MPa) and Stand-off distance (mm) with two response parameters – Material removal rate (gm/min) and Surface roughness (𝛍m). With the help of ANOVA (Analysis of variance), it was observed that traverse speed was the most significant parameter affecting Material removal rate (MRR), while Stand-off distance (SOD) was found to be the most significantly affecting factor for the surface roughness parameter. It was also observed that with increase in traverse speed, MRR and surface increases. A multiple linear regression model was also developed for prediction of results.
