In this work an attempt has been made to develop empirical relationships to model thrust force in drilling of GFRP composites by Multifaceted drill bit. The empirical relationships were developed by response surface methodology incorporating above drilling parameters. The developed model can be effectively used to predict the thrust force in drilling of GFRP composites within the factors and their limits are studied.
