A Carbide and HSS tool wear rate simulation using Archardˊs wear model is proposed, finite element modelling is done using commercial finite element software ABAQUS/explicit. ABAQUS interface was used to simulate the contact pressure. For measuring wear depth of tool’s, drilling operation is performed experimentally then wear depth is measured on profilprojecter. Comparing the wear rate, based on Archad model. Result model shows that at 2000 rpm, 0.15 mm/rev feed rate and 45 mm drilling length Carbide tool is suited but at 3000 rpm, 0.20 mm/rev feed rate, 45 mm drilling length and 4000 rpm, 0.25 mm/rev feed rate, 55 mm drilling length HSS tool is suited because of lower wear rate than Carbide tool.
