Abstract This paper investigates the influence of grinding parameters to surface roughness in a case of grinding a high-speed endmill of cemented tungsten carbide using a five-axis CNC tool grinder. The values of surface roughness have a significant influence on wear resistance, lubricating capability, precision, noise and life of an endmill. Therefore, it can be served as a significant performance index for evaluating the grinding quality of tools. The grinding parameters effecting surface roughness most are grinding speed, feed rate, and grain mesh size. In this study, three levels are selected for each grinding parameter. The layout of experiments is obtained using the full factorial design. The results show that, among these three controllable grinding parameters, grain mesh size has the most significant influence on surface roughness, while grinding speed has the least. As grain mesh size is #800, feed rate has no notable effect. In order to get a desirable minimum value for surface roughness, the optimal combination of grinding conditions is grinding speed of 1000 m/min, feed rate of 100 mm/min, grain mesh size of #800. As for enhancing grinding efficiency, the desired combination of grind
