Abstract


Processing on Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines represents a cornerstone of modern industry, where the selection of cutting tools plays a critical role in ensuring machining process performance. This study presents the selection of cutting tools using the multicriteria Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which enables a comparative evaluation of alternatives based on multiple, often conflicting criteria. The primary objective is to identify tools that maximize performance, minimize costs, and ensure process stability, considering factors such as durability, machining time, acquisition and repair costs, as well as logistical availability. By employing AHP, the study aims to provide a rigorous decision-making framework that supports informed and strategic decisions regarding the selection of CNC cutting tools.
