Surface completion is a significant proportion of item quality since it extraordinarily impacts the presentation of mechanical parts. In CNC machining, wet cooling technique is normally applied to provide lubrication at the cutting zone to obtain good surface finish. In this system, a lot of cutting liquid is provided ceaselessly at the slicing zone to decrease the temperature between cutting instrument and work piece. Despite the fact that the cutting liquids are useful in ventures, their harmfulness can give negative effect to condition, human wellbeing and increment creation cost. Moreover, it is discovered that, solitary a limited quantity of coolant assumes their job in the cooling framework application. Therefore, an Arduino time base computerized coolant supply is created as another framework to diminish the utilization of cutting liquids. In this examination, an Aluminum Alloy was machined with CNC processing and the surface harshness is seen by utilizing this framework. As per the trial results, it is seen that the best time interim for providing and quit providing the coolant is 30 seconds with the surface harshness estimation of 1.0470 µm utilizing the shaft speed of 1200 RPM, feed pace of 100mm/min and profundity of cut of 0.4mm.This technique can reduce the cutting fluid consumption during machining operation and the improvement of the surface roughness is also obtained.
