Abstract: The common fiber strengthened composite are as a rule progressively utilized in different applications like space, flying machine, marine, building and car segment on account of their prevalent physical and mechanical properties despite the fact that they are somewhat expensive. AWJM speaks to a worldwide adaptable instrument supporting the machining of every normal material that are with no harm by straight contact with water. In this present work plans to explore jute fiber strengthened unsaturated polyester resin composite material investigating surface Roughness by changing three parameters, for example, Pressure, Standoff distance and Feed rate an ideal state of the material can be found and furthermore investigation of the cut surface geography after grating water stream machining. Rough utilized for cutting is garnet 80 mesh abrasive particles. It catalyzes the cutting and gives phenomenal surface completion.
Keywords: Jute Fiber, Surface Roughness, Abrasive Water Jet Machining.
